[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2762917, member: 19165"]I'll be honest, trying to guess the assigned grade and grader is nearly impossible. I'll wager that the assigned grade is PCGS 67. However, I'll also give you the justification for my own grade (66+): Strike: 67+. The strike on this coin is quite strong, especially for the date. Luster: 67. I see flashy, bold luster in these pics. Eye appeal: 68. Blue is always attractive, and this is especially nice. The toning accentuates the design in a way that few do. Contact marks: 66. The reverse is flawless. There are some minor tickmarks, but nothing in that photo on the high points, but they are minor. There is one significantly distracting mark on his cheekbone. I'll be honest, that mark is what keeps it from a 67 in my opinion. Add all that up, and it leads me to a 66+[/QUOTE]
