[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 3054277, member: 87737"]I'm changing my guess from 66. There are 2 insignificant "marks" on the coin. First one on the obverse at about 8 o'clock, just inside the rim - could be a planchet flaw? Second is a small (tiny) hit on the rim on the reverse at 7 o'clock. Other then those 2, I see nothing. Nada, Zilch, Zip, Zero. The Indian's right thigh (our left) has full luster as well. This is the high point of the obverse, and I'm not seeing a break in luster anywhere. There is even detail in the Indian's headdress. It is also incredibly well struck. Look at the pioneer's wife's hair (inside the wagon); there is detail in her hair!!! There also does not appear to be any break in luster on the oxen's rear half, the high point of the reverse. My new guess is 67+, with a strong chance at 68. If it had strong color, I believe it would be a shoo-in (or is it shoe-in?) for a 68. As much as the holder is cool, I would without question submit this coin. Seriously. Like, really, seriously. And then get it CAC'd.[/QUOTE]
