Excluding the three white spots from the overhead bulbs, looks like a solid gem 65. Very sweet.

Quote: Excluding the three white spots from the overhead bulbs, looks like a solid gem A straight shot with diffused light made the coin too dark, so I opted for more direct light. I don't like the white spots, but this was the only way of capturing the lustrous surfaces properly. I'll post the straight shot when the grade is revealed, and you'll see what I mean.

I am on the 65 train, but would not be shocked if it were higher given that the glare is obstructing.

I knew that glare was throwing me off.  Very nice!

I just hate how dark the coin looks when I do straight-on slab shots. There's no way around it with my phone setup. It's this way with any slab.

I know what you mean. It is that way with any coin I photograph. I have to adjust the levels with paint.net and it is still far from what I see in hand.
