    are those carbon spots on the obverse (left side, underneath the word liberty and to left of lincoln's head)? that is a great looks reverse

    Small one on his vest, but nothing by LIBERTY.

    PCGS MS65 all day long IMO....I really like it at 65+. LDS luster probably bumped it.

    Spotted or not spotted at grading, that is the question....

    I'll guess it was graded as-is and graded 65.

    FWIW, I grade it as-is at 64.

    I'm gonna have to buck the trend here and say 64. The obverse is just to "muddy" with small nicks and dings for me to comfortably mark it much higher. Still a beauty over all though.

    I voted 66 but could be a 67.

    I wish I could change my vote. I initially saw the knicks and assumed it was circulated... Since it's not, I'll say 64.

    It'd have a shot at a 67 except for the obverse spots IMO.

    Tough call, because I think the reverse is nicer than the obverse. I voted 65 though.

    MS66 RD, a 65 is possible

    66rd for me.
    Don't like the spot by TRUST or would have gone 1 higher.

    the pics appear to be a bit dark but I'll say its good enough for a MS-66

    I guessed 66 cause of the reverse. I think if the whole coin looked like the obverse it would be a 64 though

    I probably should not have listed this one, but it is too late now. Great strike and nearly mark free. No problem with the luster, but there are those spots. I can assure you they were not there when it was graded. Anyhow, NGC called it a 67. Did it deserve it when they graded it, probably. Just look at that reverse. Does it deserve it today, not really.
