Strike and luster are all there. The nicks are not. Those tiny lines on the reverse are die scratches and not visible in hand. I have no idea if that color was there around the S, but it is not a carbons spot, not a finger print and much less noticeable in hand. Yes, NGC gave it a 67 Without that brown, I absolutely agree. With it, well, maybe.
1, 2, and 3 remain the same. Thereafter, there were several flips.

I had a feeling this would get a 67 , but with that mark on the reverse I just couldn't pull the trigger . Beautiful coin any way you look at it . Well at least I got the other one .
WHEW! It's scary being at #10. I got these last two right and bumped up 2 slots....about time I get some luck happening.
