Nice coin.
You shopped well.
Strike up in the 90-95% area.
It took me a long while to find one for my type set.
I turned down an MS-66 because of the weakness of the strike.
I settled on an MS-65 because it needs a 10x loupe to see that the ribs on the III are just slightly not fully struck.

Great luster! Been looking for a well struck example myself and has proven tricky. I think this one makes it to MS-65.

I looked for reasons to not call it MS66 and came up with none. MS66 it is in my opinion...  |

Nice ! I too am going to assume the scratch on the obverse is on case/holder
MS 66

Reverse looks lovely but something(s) seems to be missing (denticles) wonder if that affected grade..  MS-64 |

PCGS Gave it MS64. I feel that this is pretty fair, there are some deeper hits, but are extremely well hidden. That all said, I think that this is at the least worthy of a CAC sticker and it has an unusually excellent strike. Heck it even earned by boss's seal of "Wow that's pretty darn nice" which he doesn't give out lightly. Quote:

 , should be CAC worthy ( even though I'm not a CAC guy), only couple heavier hits I can see are on the obverse, reverse looks pretty clean from these pics. I love the reverse on this one! Great strike and I actually kind of like the lack of denticles as well! Nice pick up! Edited by Ty2020b
