    I think the coin received a 66 do to black specks on the obverse

    Thanks for taking the time out of your day to do this for us.

    It definitely isn't a 68 (put cursor over pics, the name of the pictures both say 68 on it...............)

    I think it is a 66, but can easily be 65

    I guessed 66 because of the newer holder. The logic being the holder is too new for the spots to have appeared after grading, and I don't see this coin in 67 plastic with them. But we shall see....

    Decided with the lower grade of MS-66 RD...just too many small nicks and those darn spots....

    I am not sure what to make of this one. Great luster and some interesting color. However, there are a lot more than the normal nicks. Most are planchet marks left due to the weaker strike (than most 67's I have seen) and they are very small. I happen to like the color and apparently so did NGC because they gave it a 67. Despite the color and luster, I don't see this one. I would call it a 66.
