This formula might work for grades above MS-65, but the high weight on the entirely-subjective category of eye appeal makes this formula less...
The luster is typical for a 65. It does not sparkle like MS-67 luster. Again, the marks would have me at 65, but they are about equal to the 66+...

If someone bought $30000 in coins from me, I would factor into my costs to hand-deliver them to the buyer
I just had a meteorite stolen from a package in transit, much the same way these coins were stolen. They did not pass through AZ by chance, did they?
I thought I recognized the photos, but I just didn’t want to make an issue where there wasn’t one.
There are times when you refuse to give a straight answer, even after being asked to do so several times. Why should anyone else be beholden to...
They explocitly don’t allow it. Whether or not they enforce it, that is the question.
The overall grade is most definitely not MS-67, but the luster alone is what is being discussed. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The luster in the TV closely resembles that of a 1964 Kennedy I have which has no-question MS-67 quality luster. That’s the standard I use.
The luster is a much better quality than it appears in the original pics
What happened was that the coin entered the US on November 4. From that point, it kept leaving and then entering the NYC distribution center (per...
USPS called me back just now. It is gone for good. :(
Not at all. If it is dated before 1840, they let a lot of problem coins through with straight grades, and early copper is notoriously overgraded.
I think what we are looking at is the butt on Mercury (Invader Zim reference for those who do not know)
My point is that hairlines are the first indicators of wear before enough material is removed to cause significant luster loss or device...
Fingers are abrasive. Guess what abrasives do? Leave hairlines. Ever wonder why circulated gold is hairlined to death? It’s because the hairlines...
The hairlines on the cheek are consistent with those from circulation (short, scattered, no clear and consistent pattern). There are absolutely no...
The eye appeal yes, but the marks are that of an MS-65 coin, and I expect this luster at the MS-65 level. I weight technical merits much higher...
Ignoring the dozens if marks on the cheek, jacket, and bell, I’d agree with you
