[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3626613, member: 19165"]While this is a quite attractive coin, you have to recognize that this is also an extreemly common coin, even in very high grades. The strike on yours shows weakness in the hairlines - enough to preclude a 67 grade. The luster appears quite good (as you'd expect). The luster appears consistent with a 65 grade, maybe slightly higher. The eye appeal of this piece is nice - nothing great, nothing negative. It is a good looking coin, but won't get a bump in either direction for its eye appeal. Contact marks: There are a few whispy marks on the obverse which won't significantly detract from the coin. There is a very significant mark on the reverse, however, in the field under the left wing of the eagle. To me, this looks like a solid 65, with a shot at a low end 66. It's a nice coin, no doubt about it - and right one the borderline of being worth submitting. If you are sure it would get 66, it's worth it, if not, don't. (there are 5500 graded 66, so.... really, really common).[/QUOTE]
