MS66 - No FS

Nice coin!

 

Agree with above.

And I bet the color is really nice in hand.

 

It is nicer that my photos show for sure.

 

66

Weak strike reverse. 66+

 

MS-64 due to reverse wear. Very sharp coin.

 

If there is wear, it cannot be an Mint State grade.

What you are seeing on the reverse here appears to be mostly due to a weak strike.

 

MS-66+ Not FS.

 

Voted MS67 NFS
Nice

 

MS68

 

Could be a weak strike. Monticello appears week especially the steps. Hope I'm wrong, good luck.

 

If this is anything less than 66, I'll be surprised.

I actually voted 67 because Lehigh and NGC and I tend to disagree about how to weight remnant planchet defects on the high points from a weaker strike. I'd call it a 66.

 

Can you be more specific, what I see above column 3 looks like a die crack.

 

i gave it the 66 but they should add in "weak strike" on a coin like this as it could easily be mistaken for wear/rub... just my opinion

 

MS67. How can it get much better?

 

looks 66 to me, nice coin by the way.

 

I am trying to figure out what the mark is going from the lower jaw up through the top of Jeffs hair. I am imagining it is another die crack. I am in at 65* on this one. Looks like nice smooth luster on this one. It doesn't seem to have that blazing look to it.
