A few tiny marks may be present and even one single hidden mark near or at an important design area of the coin may exist. No more than one significant mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS66: Above average strike. Full mint luster is required for the MS66 level. A mint state 66 graded coin should have above average eye appeal and be considered attractive for the issue. A few, small scattered marks may be present, but not a single, large obvious mark that detracts from the overall nice appeal of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS65: The strike should be at least average for the issue and preferably sharp for the issue. The luster should be above average although full mint luster is not required like MS66 and MS67 grades are. Bagmarks can be present, but should not detract greatly from the coin&#039;s overall beauty. Generally, MS65&#039;s are above average for the issue with attractive luster and are appealing coins overall.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS64: The strike is average and preferabally slightly better than average. Luster should be at least average for the issue. Full mint luster is not required. Average strike for the issue. Bagmarks are present, sometimes heavier than others.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>---- based on your photos, I am seeing what I think is full luster and an above average strike. It has great eye appeal to me and I am not really seeing marks, especially in the two main areas where it counts more than others: the face and the fields in front and behind the device (Washington). The fields in this area look very free of marks. This is what I would say is important, especially on a known good strike year, for a 66. And it should be discernable enough difference from something keeping it at a 65.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
