I'm kind of torn on this one, the missing diamond bothers me, if it's wear than EF45, if weak strike, than AU58, because of the luster. So not much help from me.

I think the amount of wear is closer to XF, but it's way above average appeal for the grade, so I'm going with XF45.

Beauty of a coin BrickellCat.

My '68 doesn't look that good.

AU-58 at least., one or two diamonds showing.

I'm with D0ubl3Eagle on this one AU55 or AU58. Great color.

A close up of an interesting die crack on the shield. Notice how it extends from the rim all the way through the shield.

Any chance there is a fine die crack connecting the bases of 186 in the date?

No evidence of die cracks on the obverse.

Sorry but I still see the die cracks when I see your original. And it is a Snow 10 if these are on the coin. I put the green lines on this pic - double check for me about a faint crack in these locations.
