What a breathtakingly beautiful coin!

I see only one small bag mark on the Indian's face, near the braid and very few bag marks on the reverse. There are one or two small and non-intrusive rim dings. The fields are beautiful. For a Denver coin, that's a well-struck specimen. Your coin is better struck and nicer than my 1938-D (non-RPM) that is a 65.

IMHO, solid 66, maybe 67.

66/67 without much tail detail? Learning this series, surprised by the grades.

At least MS-66, doesn't get much nicer than that! The strike is a bit soft for a 38-D, which in my mind would be the only thing keeping if from 67.

Okay, so here she is... I asked the question about everyone's thoughts on grade because I respect this group so much. I was wondering if I should send it in to get re-graded (is it worth it or not). Thanks again for everyone's opinion on grade, now what would you do?
