MS 66
I go back and forth on this design. It is just so busy...

 

The engraver certainly earned his money!

Under that tone may be a 66 plus or 67

 

Fun, there is a lot to see.

 

My favorite commemorative half.

 

It is difficult to read under all that toning, but with the nice strike I'm going to say 66.

 

I'm a newbie........67 or 67+

 

It looks like a luster bomb with some dark spots of toning. The surfaces looks clear and it has a great strike. There's definition on Liberty's right arm, I've seen so many that are just flat and unnatural looking. I'd call it a 66+. Had it not been for the not so appealing toning I think it would go 67 easy.

 

65 or 65+

 

66

 

Grade? I don't know. I just know now I want to go out and buy another one for myself !!
Great looking coin. 66+. some of that weird spotty obverse toning has me holding back a 67. But you probably got a 68 ?

 

67

 

MS-66

 

Guess 65...can't see thru toning areas.

 

I also would say a 65 , because of toning could be hiding something But still a very nice commemorative.

 

66, great looking coin.

 

I am gonna let this go till morning. It's been a long day.

 

I 100% agree with everyone here. I have the coin in hand and can't find any other reason except the toning that kept this from a 66. I only took this as part of a trade, and got a pretty good deal. I shouldn't have any trouble getting my money back out of it.

 

Any idea what was the proximate cause of the brown spots? Perhaps paper in close proximity?

 

I am not sure myself, If I had my best guess, I would say that I agree probably spent some time in an envelope.
