It's a nice one. I think the bright photos made it tough to see what was going on with the surfaces.

PCGS is known to bump up coins for eye appeal. A technical 65 can end up in a 67 holder if it has the right look.

I still find the practice absolutely ridiculous, but for what it's worth this coin doesn't seem to be the worst example of PCGS overgrading/"market grading"

I suspect that mark near the star is on the die. For this one I generally agree with the PCGS grade. It's practically mark free and has nice luster. At worst, 66+.

I'm going with that and saying I graded this one correctly then!
