<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 2596441, member: 4920&quot;]We have several in MS66 to MS67, and one I&#039;m calling MS68. None of them are third-party graded. The higher up they go, the less you&#039;re focusing on marks, as the less there are, and the more you&#039;re paying attention to the whole and the eye-flow through the coin. At MS68, you&#039;re comfortably going through the coin, just as the engraver intended. At MS67, there are little to no marks, and at MS66 there are more marks. I&#039;ve been watching these auctions over the years on Heritage to see how my grading stacks up, and one thing I&#039;ve observed pretty consistently is the &quot;fence-post&quot; luster stops at MS65, and you&#039;re &quot;white&quot; from MS66 up. I&#039;ve observed exceptions, but for exceptional coins. Thus, to answer the question, you&#039;re basically at &quot;white&quot; luster, marks you basically have to tease out to see, and good eye-flow, to go from MS66 to MS67.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
