Nice!  The last year before the BIG modification in 1969. Those should bring a "pretty penny", but nothing too big. Be sure to store them properly to keep 'em blazin' red! Edited by oih82w8

Pics too blurry and small for an accurate grade, it looks to be either 64 or 65. I'm also surprized in that is seems to show full steps. Are the steps full and complete with no weakness or merging?

Also BadThad the steps are full and the coin is free of all marks and has amazing eye appeal. The picture do not at all do it justice.

I search a bomb load of 68S OBW and tube rolls. Finding a 68S with full, complete steps is a challenge as they almost always have a weak spot.
The luster looks very good on this coin, my concern for going above a 65 are the apparent primary field hits. To get above a 65 you have to have VERY clean fields.

With the amount of chatter in the fields I think MS63, maybe MS64 because the luster is very good.

What was the BIG change from 68 to 69? I thought LMC were the same from 59-09? Nice shiny coin BTW :D |

Now I can see it better, however, don't take your pics at an angle like that, it makes it harder to grade.
