    Very nice coin. Luster does indeed boom, but the ticks bother me a little. I'm unsure of my indecision......lol

    It's got the strike and luster for a 67 , but that reverse bothers me .

    66 IMO, 67 in NGC's mind

    Dick , how are those marks on the reverse in hand ? Barley noticible or reall stick out ?

    There are hardly any marks (nicks) on the reverse to stick out. So, no, they are not particularly noticeable.

    I guessed 67, but I would not be surprised if NGC gave it a 66. It reminds me of the 57-d examples in 66 recently posted.

    Yes, the obverse has great luster. It is a bit chippy, but I could see a 67 with that luster. Yes, the marks on the reverse are barely visible. However, did anyone notice the obvious difference in luster between the obverse and the reverse? Maybe if the reverse had the luster of the obverse, it would have a 67, but it does not. NGC gave it a 66and I agree.

    The luster is great, but the reverse looks dead. 66



    oh, I am late. Still, that is my opinion.
