Many of these coins exhibit fantastic toning due to the reaction with the materials in the clamshell cases they were sold in. I wish I could properly photograph the toning on this one, it's absolutely stunning in hand. What do you think of grade? Thanks for looking

It is hard to see the surfaces of the coin in your images. This looks to be anywhere between PL65-67. I can't see any "Hits" or other marks But it is dependant on what the fields are like that will determine the grade  These are stunningly toned coins and I have a couple of PCGS graded ones of these myself that bring me a lot of pleasure

Nice full strike, beautiful toning. SP65 Too bad about Liz's skin condition.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website

I'd guess in the SP65 range too

These pictures aren't anywhere near the quality I need to get an accurate grade. Sorry guys. This is in an SP69 holder

I always wondered what ICCS would grade these coins at. I know PCGS NGC and CCCS to give grades all the way up to the 70 mark, but I wanna see how high ICCS goes.

It was the first Sp69 I have ever seen in an ICCS or CCCS holder so I bought it. One of the only times I "bought a holder" but I wanted to see a very nice quality coin for comparative purposes. Plus I thought the price was fair. When I look up the cert.# it comes up but they do not show population numbers beyond SP68. Perhaps I have the only one.....

@Paulsz I believe ICCS only goes up to 68..

On regular circulating coins, I don't ever remember a PCGS ms70
