p.s. personally, I'd grade it 64.
High end 64 they graded as a 65.

Who's reaching? Rolling machine damage doesn't look like this, and it's more around the entire coin, and looks quite different (circular -vs-...

I choose to not vote in this one. I'm confused by the coin. If I had to guess, I'd guess 64, but I think I'm low.
That's some funny $*@% right there. :)
p.s. 66 -- think the luster is 67 worthy, but the hits on the obverse limit the grade.
