    Appears to have muted luster and a touch of mellowing. 65

    Knowing RLM's this is probably a 66,, but i went 65 and didn't give a +1 because it looks a bit dirty on the rev,, and I'm unsure if that is a hit in the filed to the right of abe's face or not,, but if it is, then that's another knock that holds it at 65 vs. 66.....

    Should be a 64, too much going on for a 5 in my books.

    I honestly wouldn't buy this coin as a GEM, but I'm still going to say 65.

    64. It doesn't have enough to be a 65

    I am not too sure what to say about this one. I have MS67's that have more nicks than this coin, but they have great luster and bright clean color. This one has neither. I have no idea how much this counts, but I have seen many 1951-S's and nearly every one has this same muted luster. Even thought the spotting is not as obvious in hand, it is most definitely there. I think I would have guessed a 65, but PCGS said 66.
