It is too dark for 67+, they like incredible luster in combination with vibrant toning for the + designation.
It doesn't matter, NGC likes crusty toners and they don't penalize coins for having advanced peripheral toning due to album storage. Eg: [IMG]...

After 1987, almost all of my coins are homemades. I bought a few 90's coins years ago, and most of my slots from 2000 to present in my Registry...
