i think the mark at K3 obv is a planchet flaw and the marks along the rev rim from K10-K12 as well as the marks on the O in one are die deteriation. not sure how they look at these as it was how it left the mint. those longer scratches on the reverse I'm going with that they are on the holder.

At least MS66 with a bean

Interested to see the grade now. Perhaps I was too harsh in my estimation of that chewed quality to In God We.

Looks like the obverse damage is from a planchet defect - so I'd say 66 and wouldn't be surprised at a 67! Beautiful Steelie!

Great video, I see some things in the fields. The obverse motto is very weak, nice reverse though.

MS-65
