    I have to mention, the coin looks quite different from each picture, due to the lighting and the angle movement

    Yea it looks like it might be from a rusted die on the reverse, but only in a couple of the pictures.

    MS65 semi PL. I think it could be 66 were it not for the contact marks on the neck.

    I see a lot of variables here. But to tell you the truth... it was the mint frost that sold me on this coin. I love how there is very little disruption on the frosty coating.I hear a lot about mint luster. But to me the mint frosting is as important if not more than the luster, what do you say?
