That 2nd step scrape is the difference of what? A hundred bucks?
It has the look of an easy 67.

 

Clean fields and a nice strike. Minimal marks. Hoping the business going on to the right side of the reverse is nothing serious. MS-67 5FS

 

MS67

 

I like it . I'm stuck at MS 66 for some reason.

 

67 5fs

 

66 5FS

 

MS67, not FS

 

MS-66 not full steps

 

I think with the schmutz by the second A in America on the reverse, unless conserved, limits this to an MS66 FS.

 

66 5FS

That small blemish on the reverse pulls it down a grade.

Obverse is 67 all day.

 

67 5FS Nice!

 

65 (not FS)

I bet it's better in hand, regardless.

 

I'm chicken, I agreed with @Mr. Flute at 65 not FS

 

MS-66

 

66+ 5FS.... there is a scrape on the steps but not enough to prevent the designation and the coin looks better than a 66 but not quite enough to reach 67, so I split the difference with a "+" grade

 

My prediction for the grade of this coin was MS66+ 5FS. I thought the spots on the reverse would preclude an MS67 grade. Well, I guess my concern was justified, they net graded this coin down 3 grades!!! SMH, a total clown show!

That’s a big disappointment!

 

I thought NGC would be at 65 with a + and 5FS. I didn't wish to influence other posters w/my opinion. The spots (?) did not bother me but the hits on the cheek did. The image of this coin would be at least an MS-65 and that would probably be MY personal grade. By the image alone, the 65 or 66 guys & 5S got the correct grade for the quiz. MS-67 coins cannot have large marks.

 

That large marks looks like it has luster, but I see what you are saying.
