[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 996891, member: 2972"]I would worry less about the strike (TPG's don't worry about it nearly as much as many collectors do) and more about luster. In 66/67 it's ALL about luster (provided there aren't any major contact marks). If that coin doesn't grade 67, I'll bet it's because of the luster. The fields are clean enough, the strike is strong enough. But is the luster good enough? The pictures suggest not, but I have been wrong before, and I will be wrong again. All of the above IMO.[/QUOTE]
