MS 67 with 5 fs

 

Add * to my vote, I didn't check that, I think it should get *, too (I only checked + and there doesn't appear to be any way to amend and add *).

 

Alright, I have you down for MS66+*

 

MS66. Don't know about the steps as I walk with a cane and use the ramp. Avoid stairs.... Grumble grumble!!

 

I'm going bold 68* nearly made the FS but not quite,pretty nickel!!!.

 

I voted 66 not FS. If it was in a PCGS holder, I might have said 65 or 65+. Chatter on the jawbone and chatter on the columns. And I'm not well-versed on the FS definitions but I see breaks.

But a nice-looking coin with lots of luster.

 

66 star (not FS)....the luster and color give it the star; it's fairly clean; the area under the third column prevents 5FS

 

A 66+ would be a fair grade. No FS or star. Pretty though.

 

I gave it 67* NFS sorry it's close but don't think quite full Beautiful piece though

 

MS-66

 

MS-65 No FS

 

I wanted to say 66 but just couldn't get past the rough cheek, the luster is there.
MS 65

 

MS 66 not fs. The rough planchet on the cheek doesn't bother me or the TPGs, usually.

 

67 star, not full steps. Beautiful coin. I love the toning.

 

MS66

 

Any others before the reveal?

I'm going to guess MS-65 not full steps. It appears to have great luster, but what appears to be chatter in the field in front of Jefferson's nose and in the field around the MM and hit on the MM keep it at a 65 to me.

 

Looks like a 67 to me.

I think it’s a 66+ that got a color bump to 67.

I could also see it in a 66* slab but I know how tough stars are on these although this one does seems to have spectacular luster and I’m sure the toning looks beautiful in hand.

Between 67 and 66* I am leaning towards 67. Final answer.

 

Drumroll....
