    This specimen has a light amber and rose gold patina. With magenta highlights dancing around the periphery of this nearly mark free buffalo beauty.
    Be careful when selecting a grade as there are a few slab scratches.

    I've moved on from these, yawn......

    Kidding!! This is an easy 66. It's not easy telling the difference between 66 and 67 on these from images. But I really would not be surprised if it was a 67. It looks to have a very hammered strike and great luster.

    MS65, and that's my final answer.

    And I agree that 67 wouldn't be out of the question......jt now wipe the drool off your chin :)

    I think the strike and surfaces are clearly premium gem, but I personally can't decipher anything about the luster based on the photos provided. MS67 is certainly in play if the luster is on par with the other elements of grading. I'm gonna hedge and say MS66+.

    Just a side note.....since this is a Thanksgiving thread.... if Ben Franklin had his way the "Turkey" not the bald eagle would of been the national symbol of the United States. IDK I'm thinking an eagle would be a tough bird to swallow!

    I can't imagine a Turkey on the back of U.S. Coins or the Presidential Seal. I'm for one am certainly glad Franklin didn't get his way, at least in that instance. :)

    I mean can you imagine a Morgan Dollar with a Turkey on the reverse? Or the $20.00 Double Turkey, $10 Turkey, $5.00 Half Turkey? WOW....

    Yeah I hear you.....the episode of WKRP where they threw turkeys out of the helicopter "the WKRP Turkey Give Away" would of never aired.... that one and the dancing ducks were two of my personal favorite episodes.

    Hmmmm... I wonder how they made them get so much bigger?

    I doubt they've been hitting the gym to get "Pumped UP!"..
