ya if that reverse scratch is on the coin then it will definitely lower the grade a bit. Without the scratch, I'd say 67, but with it, I think it would be lowered to 65 or 64, if it doesn't get a details designation.
Was kind of split between 66 and 67. Slightly muted luster due to mellowing was the issue. I guessed 67.
I'm in the same dilemma as Mike , beautiful coin , but slightly muted luster , and the reverse hit . I'm thinking the hit brings it down from a 67 to a 66 .
Kind of a frosty luster, but still nice luster. Nice full strike and almost nick free except those marks on the reverse (as well as some below AMERICA). Yes, they are visible in hand.. I do not understand how they got this grade. I would call it a 67/65 which should be a 65, I think. What NGC did to get a 66 out of that, I do not know.
Surprise! Irish2Ice is still leading - NOT. That is not a surprise he is leading. Otherwise, rzage is moving up. Top 10. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses.

Finally got both right , sweated this one out as I wasn't sure how much that reverse scratch would lower the grade .
Argh. I'm falling like a rock! I remember guessing on these two, and then thinking to myself, man, I could have gotten them exactly backwards...and that's precisely what happened. My 66 was a 67, and my 67 was a 66. I could kick myself. lol
