Coin 6 is the best of the lot, a pretty clean coin overall. But even this one has its share of small tiny hits. A string of them starting in front of th eye/nose and running all the way to the A above the crown. Some on the neck, some on the back of the collar and quite a few in the legends. Again, I would not grade this coin 66. 65 maybe, if the luster is there, but no 66. So no vote on this one either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
