<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3704273, member: 1765"]This is where I differ in why I say 65. The marks are sufficiently hidden and the fields are very clean. The luster just doesn't seem frosty enough for a higher grade. Take a look at some white 66s (most are toned) and they have more "punch", even in the assembly line photos, than this one. This 77-S in 66 (no CAC sticker) actually has more contact marks than the subject coin, but makes the 75 look "tired" in comparison, despite having fewer marks.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F1%2F4%2F8%2F2%2F11482553%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
