Blazing luster, hard to capture through the airtite. HINT - I wrote PQ on the 2x2:

Hi Thad - is that just some of the black backing on the rim of the reverse near STATES and AMERICA? I can appreciate the difficulty capturing the luster and the detail in the same shot.

OK - I'm thinking MS66RD, but I tend to be conservative (and I'm just getting comfortable with grading). Maybe higher if that's black backing rather than a couple of black spots on the rim?

Very nice specimen!!

MS67RD. The nick of the reverse rim may knock it down to MS66RD.

Just the ragged edge of the internal foam ring. The only things I spot in hand are a couple of water spots around the date and some strike weakness where the bust truncates at the rim.
