Nice toning,detail, & luster - that has got to be at least a MS66. I'm itchy at pulling the 67 trigger!

 

Is that mark to the left of her mouth toning?

 

Looks like a 66 shot to me.

 

66

 

65

 

It appears to be a die polish spot... but i havent had a chance to examine the coin super thoroughly yet.. I literally just got it

 

same thing I got asked about this - it's toning!!;

 

Looks like she was photo bombed by a black gardner snake!!

 

66

 

65? Hard to tell what kind of marks are on the cheek. I think I see at least one behind the mouth, so I assume there may be another minor one or two.

If the vertical bar in front of the face is shiny on the coin, then it's probably the die being polished (planed off, actually) by the feed fingers in the press.

Really impossible to say with the toning hiding who knows what. Great luster, I'll venture 66.

 

A pure guess, MS67

 

And the winner is......

 

Without further delay....

 

The Gold medal goes to.....
Ldhair or is it Idhair? Congrats you are the champeeeen...
Silver medal goes to....
Messy desk- sorry buddy noone remembers #2
Bronze medal- kirkuleez.. kirkuleez,kirkuleez!
until next time, im anacs quebec and thanx for playing

 

I would put that coin at a grade of 66, close to 67. Great coin!

 

Depending on how the mark in front of her face looks, I wouldn't be surprised with a 66 on this one with a regrade. The reverse, and the luster, looks really good.
