    I am at 65+FS. Some luster grazes that keep it from the 66 grade.
    Nice Jeff Lehigh.

    MS 66 5FS ....looks lustrous and nice ...a few too many small marks that keep it out of 67 ....the 5 steps seem to be fairly solid

    I went with the MS66 FS majority before I even read the posts above.

    I think it could go higher than my guess. It definitely has great eye appeal upon a second look!

    So once again, NGC refused to give a full step coin the full step designation, but these Trader Bea purple holders are absolute fire!!!

    Congrats to @Collecting Nut on guessing the assigned grade.

    Unfortunately that last bottom step is not complete.

    That would be the 6th step, it was asked for 5FS

    If I look at the OP’s close up of the steps I’m counting 5.
