<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2936027, member: 19165&quot;]Strike: Appears well struck. There is none of that &quot;planchet roughness&quot; BS on his jaw, and the columns are all clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Luster: Appears to be quite lustrous, and I&#039;ll bet it shines when you rotate it. Your pictures usually show luster pretty well, however, which has me questioning it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Eye Appeal: Natural patina is emphasized by subtle toning, more colorful on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Contact marks: The fields are quite clean. There are a number of significant marks on the obverse, but they are well hidden in the design (eyebrow, hair, ear, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, this is the type of coin that, if the luster shines well, I&#039;m sure would be 66 by any TPG, and any old timer would call 65. If the luster is dull-ish, like your pictures indicate, this is a solid 64+ that the TPGs would call 65. </p><p><br /></p><p>Key point - While the steps appear generally quite well struck, there is enough bridging on this coin that it should *not* get a FS. If any TPG called this FS, I&#039;d question their reputability.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
