[QUOTE="kSigSteve, post: 5172467, member: 72008"]Coin 3 is my favorite. Coin 1 would be a close second. Least favorite being Coin 2. Coin 1 - 66+ Strike is good. Eye appeal is good. Luster seems a bit flat and muted. Contact marks are pretty minimal with only 2 that I really see to my eye. One in front of Jefferson’s nose and the other near the T in Monticello. Coin 2 - 67 Strike is average and softer than the other 2. Eye appeal is good. Luster seems better than 1 and has a bit better color. Surfaces seem pretty good. Only a few contact marks that stand out to me. One by the nose, C in cents, and M UNUM. I think the luster and color pushes this one to 67 even with an average strike. I also don’t like how the mint mark has a grease filled look. Coin 3 - 67 5FS Strike is solid. I was a little hesitant on giving it FS but it appears to be there although a bit soft under column 2. Eye appeal is fantastic. Surfaces seem incredible with very minor hits that are likely planchet marks and the luster is best of all 3.[/QUOTE]
