    65n1,... I've seen a lot of these that are 65'ed with similar nice detail and not too many nic's,,,, dunno why, maybe color doesn't count as much as luster.

    I went with 65 because the luster looks flat. Could be the lighting on the coin, but the color looks off to me.

    Gotta go 66, it's very clean even though the luster appears subdued. It could definately be +/-1 depending on how it looks in hand.

    Tough one. 66. A 65 from NGC on this one would really surprise me; however, a 67 wouldn't surprise me too much if the luster is better than the photos indicate.

    A bit surprised it's in a holder with that color.

    OMG... Gorgeous.
    Great eye appeal.
    I am probably not grading technically enough when I say 67... but it's just so purty!

    Heritage says NGC has 3 of these and PCGS has 4 as of January, 09. I would appreciate it if someone could confirm those numbers. When I first looked at this reverse, I was very disappointed. It looked very dark, but when the light hit it, it really popped. My pictures did not do justice to it. It is about as mark free as I have. I am pretty sure I agree with the grade. I guess this will have to do - particularly since the red version runs about $2,000.

    I had a feeling, so hard to make the call from 66 to 67 without seeing it in hand.
