Message:: [QUOTE="rld14, post: 484359, member: 16133"]David, there are 4 hits that bug me.  Two are on the Obverse; the one on her exposed shin and one to the right of "E" in "LIBERTY" and on the Reverse both "O"s have hits.  Iverall though, I agree with Paul, this is a beauty. On the other hand, while MS66 is the limit and I don't see this crossing to a 67, this is a stunning coin, awesome luster, maybe not the blast white that I like but this coin from the pictures really looks stunning.  But what really does it for me and surely seals the grade is the strike, that's a really well struck coin.  People tend to take the 1917-P for granted, it's a coin that basically comes in FH as a rule rather than the exception to the point that it's kept the 17-D and 17-S FHs artificially low. But this is what I would call an "Ultimate Full Head" and it is a stunning coin.  I have an MS65FH that's nice and has the green sticker and is, IMO, nowhere near as nice as this coin.  I'm seriously considering buying it.[/QUOTE]
