This is a Steve's Gift Shoppe MS-67...

even with the blurry pics I can see some major issues.

What's the consensus grade?

Nope. Nothings wrong. They are just very conservative these days.

Comparing this to my PCGS MS-65, I can say this coin does not fair too well. There's a gash on Mr. Carver's bust, some nicks on his cheek, and the real zinger is the glaring contact mark on the reverse above the US. At best I think this would rate MS-63. It's a nice piece of history and I feel bad for the coin- but that chunk on the back and on the bust would kill it for any seasoned collector.

Bottom line its a nice coin but grossly over priced.
