    I'm wondering what my 2010 D would grade. Compared to the MS67 photos I feel it has a good shot at MS66 if not MS67. These coins are selling for quite a premium in the 66-67 range right now and I'm debating on sending it in for grading.

    I wish my pics were rich in color as the HA pics that I've included below, but in hand this coin, even magnified with 16x loupe, looks as good as 25255048 (below) and just a tad less better than 27207848.

    First the HA photos

    Not sure how the second one got an 67 as compared to the first but I would say yours should get a 67. It would be awesome if you got a 68, that would be well worth the price to get slabbed! I like it! It's not easy to find these in that high a grade.

    I kind of thought the same.

    Because of the pictures - in hand they might be the same. As for the 3rd coin I have to wonder about the luster on it. I can see it in the first two, but your coin the color is off and that makes the luster hard to see for me. It might very well be a 67.

    From my perspective the strike on the first two look a little more crisp than yours. It is a nice coin but I would say 66 is about it.
