    I think they hand out 66's on these like candy. Luster looks to have mellowed with a slight red toning. Almost no hits but the weakness in AMER may hold it back if the graders were grumpy.

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    Looks like a 64 coin with 66 luster. I'll settle in between with a 65.

    It really should be a 65, but it's a 66 in NGC's mind

    I like it as 65. The luster is nice and pretty clean fields. Weakness in the letters, but I've seen 66's with worse. Gotta go 66RD

    Tough to judge the luster on this one. 66

    Nice strike and only a few tiny nicks. This coin could easily pass for a 67 (don't I wish), but it is a dirty amber in color and luster is not its strong suit. I am not sure just how they balance all of those , but NGC came up with a 66 and that sound reasonable to me.
