I say MS-66 RD.

 

MS-66 RD

I'm not sure how/if plating blisters affect the grade.

 

I said MS-65. No color choice but red is my say. Not sure about all those plating bubbles.

 

MS65. Plating Blisters...

 

That’s a handsome coin indicative of the plating issues in the series. If ever there were a superlative example of that, this one’s it. Technically-speaking, it’s every bit MS67RD.

 

67? Must be a typo.

 

One doesn’t punish the technical grade of a coin for the way the coin rolled off the presses. The market grade, that’s a different animal.

 

I went with 67

 

I am also at MS67. There are many MS67RD coins graded with extreme plating blisters.
