I'm surprised that a coin with 6+ very noticeable hits on the eagle (reverse) could be graded MS-66.
I think with patience you could find a 66 w/o such marks.

Ugk. I never like spotty toning, but even if the toning wasn't a factor that reverse barely makes 63, let alone 66. Obverse a solid 65 sniffing at 66.
I try to stay with NGC on classic silver commemoratives, although I do have a few PCGS. If you can find one of the recent left justified NGC they are really tough graded this last year. Found a nice 66 Connecticut from Heritage, but paid a good deal more than the price you are looking at.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised to see it in a 66. It's priced $100 below bid and has 10 watchers. I guess everyone else agrees that it's over graded.

I'd call this a solid MS-65 and original at that.

Agree, 65 tops. I am not a fan of this one, grade aside.

I noticed Photograde doesn't include classic commemoratives. Is there a good grading standards reference guide for this series?
