Oh drat. I accidentally voted 65. I meant 66....
And a beauty for color too!

 

66

 

Wow! Very nice coin! A hint of toning and what looks to be some frosty field luster. I'm voting with my heart.

 

65

 

I was torn between 66 (because of the marks on Lincoln's face) but overall a very clean coin.. MS-67 RD

 

ms-66 was my first thought then started thinking ms-65. i've been missing conservatively, so i'll go with my gut this time

 

beauty..

 

66

 

66 with nice toning

 

I really, really wanted to guess 67, but whimped out and guessed 66.

Either way, what a coin. Looks like a bit of color too.... Nice coin!

 

going with a strong 66

 

I'm still torn .

 

66 RLM, nice looking cent not sure if its me being away or have you been not doing GtG? Either way I've been missing them

 

I went with 66.

 

Probably a bit of both. I have been down since the beginning of November, but you have been missing most of them since July.

BTW, can anyone else bring up the obverse picture for this coin? Never mind. It came up this time.

 

Was going to go 67 but wimped out at the last second . 66

 

Technically, everyone got this one wrong. Super strike, great luster, and minimal tiny marks. And to top that off, eye appeal above and beyond IMO. They don't show well in my pictures, but there are several tiny spots on the obverse of the coin. They are not carbon spots and they really are not that dark, but you can just see them in hand. If you look closely they appear slightly lighter on my picture. I believe those are what kept it from a 67. Anyway, PCGS called it a 66+. I have never understood just what it takes to earn the +, but I cannot think of a reason why this would not fit that category.

 

Drat it again. My vote was cast at 65, but I meant 66. And a real beauty too.

 

Well, 66+ is the old 67....so I got it right.

The eye appeal is off the charts with this coin IMO. It has that very slight album ring toning and frosy fields....awesome coin.
