<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7961631, member: 105571"]66-RB is my grade but I confess to being a bit conservative. With modern grading, I can see it as a 66RB with CAC or as a 67 RB with no bean. This coin is a real gem. Just one small nick on the chin and a couple of small dents on the obverse legend. A small reverse rim ding at K10 and some very small knocks between K10 and 12. Luster is lovely with some small patches of colorful toning that are all enhancing rather than detracting. It is close to the upper boundary between RB and Red but I think it's just shy of Red. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, having said all that and while admitting no expertise on this matter, I am just a little suspicious of the S mintmark.
