My gut says 64Rd, but, likely a 65

 

I am going with 66 on this and #186. I think coin #186 showed more luster, but I think that is because of the pictures.

 

66

 

Solid 66

 

66 with no +1 because of the weakness in strike in some areas.. but with ngc ya never know.

 

I'm saying 66

 

slightly mellowed luster for a 65 is my guess. wonder what it looked like when it went into the slab.

 

went 66 but think it's a 65

 

Same here , still a beautiful coin .

66 RD, but what is that on the N + T on CENT, the T in States and the A in America

 

Although 66's are plentiful for this one, I can't give this coin a 66 given the marks and spotting. I went with 65.

 

im likiing 66

 

Sorry I am late, but this and http://www.cointalk.com/t166610/ will be closing SOON!.

 

First off, those "spots" on the coin are not black in hand. They are shiny areas. There are few enough ticks to qualify as a 67 and it has a funny kind of luster that almost looks matte. I have seen several coins from this era having a similar type of luster. Apparently NGC calls this luster as full luster because they gave it a 67.

 

Whoa...never saw that coming. I thought it might have gotten a 66.

 

lol

 

I thought 66 , but that's why I love these threads , 67 cool .

good heavens,,, i guess i need to stay on the wagon that got me in the top 3..... +1.

 

I will wager that coin mellowed in its holder.
