<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 5006514, member: 15309"]This coin is tough to grade. The surfaces look very clean and are definitely premium gem, and I would say MS67 level. The problem is that PCGS is very stingy with the MS67 grade unless the coin has commensurate luster. From these photos I don't see that luster. The toning overall is very attractive, especially the blue on the reverse. That said, there are big spots of terminal state toning on obverse that could (and IMO should) negatively affect the grade. In summary, MS67 surfaces, dropped to MS66 for muted luster, dropped to MS65 for the obverse terminal state spotting.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS65[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
