You're killing me! Ultra nice strike! Look at the shoulder, just a touch of "scratchiness" which slightly lowers the relief on the O in ONE. I see most of these from later die states and only half the O showing. A couple hits on the hair hold me back a bit. 66

 

I think I might be off this one. Mainly I just hated the hits on poor abe's head. Other than that another beauty. Of course all of them are.

 

66 Can you edit my post in poll to 66?

 

Duke goes bold with the 67!

 

Quit stealing my grades Mark.

 

64 because of the two gashes on the front. Maybe I was too harsh with the grading though...

 

66, but I'm guessing it got a bump for color???

 

I will say 66, no way a 67. TC

 

66

 

My gut said 65, my fingers typed 66.

 

65+2=MS67 Red

 

Marshall, I think your on tilt. Sometimes it's best to walk away from the table...

Tilt is a GRADING term for a state of mental confusion or frustration in which a GRADER adopts a less than optimal GRADING STANDARD, usually resulting in the GRADER becoming over-aggressive.

I live in Tiltland, but I'm sticking to my impression plus 2 for a while.

 

65 red

 

This poll will be closing tomorrow night. See also http://www.cointalk.com/t120295/

 

I am not at home so I cannot add too much of a comment to this except that it is a 66.

BTW, I will not recompute the standings until I get back home.
