due to the slight obverse weakness in strike I think it keeps it just short of 67. MS66 and a keeper for sure

If they held that one to 66, they're bonkers. 67, and I wouldn't be surprised if it got a +. Too much luster to contemplate PL. What about if they held it to a MS-65? |

seemed like too much chatter in the obverse fields to make 66 imho. still a great looking coin.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Wow, 65 seems way too low! You have a shot at getting it regraded to 66 IMHO.

Even at 65, it has such eye appeal you'de probably get 66 money for it.

I looked on PCGS photos of the 81s and found his coin. I emailed him and told him it was undergraded and should be a 66. This would be a nice candidate for a re grade

They hit it hard for the strike weakness and chatter (and date/mm) but it still should be a 66. Try to find a 65 that looks that good. Unless it was graded 30 years ago you won't. Back in the day of 60-63-65-67 MS grading this one was a MS65 and that was a long time ago. |

I hope your MS-65 grade set example isn't as nice as these. It would be very misleading....  |

PCGS needs a new optometrist. My opinion stands. |
