Looking through my collection of Rosies, I had this one labeled as a gem. Took a closer look, and I like it. NGC and PCGS have MS 67 as top pop, no Full torch graded for 1971 by NGC, only 13 total Full bands by PCGS. What do you guys think about the grade of mine? Any chance at 67?

It is risk and two scratches on the obv may just sink it to MS66.

I like this at a 66 too. The way the lighting wraps around the torch prevents me from seeing if it's FT or not though. Do you think it is?

Do I think it is? No. It is close though, so part of me says "they might give it!" which means they probably won't. I have seen some slabbed as FT that I wouldn't have given, so that is what makes me go hmmm.
If it is a 66, not worth sending in. If it is a 67, or FB/FT, worth the money.
I will take another pic of the torch and fiddle with the lighting, see what I can come up with

Not gonna give this one, close up shows the bottom of the torch isn't quite formed up.
Edit to add: Still, it looks so much better through the loupe...

I have to, begrudgingly, agree with you. I really want to find my own coin to get graded for this set, instead of buying coins already slabbed. I will keep looking! That is the fun of this hobby anyway!
