Hello CCF,

Please share your thoughts on grade and if the coin looks proof like.

Pics taken through flip.

Thanks,

Just a nice business strike MS65/66 fields rims and most high points are clear but the coat has a lot of chatter, that takes it out of going much higher. Not a proof and "proof-like" don't matter, won't increase value of low denomination coins and really used on silver issues if ya think about it, never thought of that before...hmmm?

John1: I find it easier to take pictures of the coin in a flip. I can hold it at different angles and get better light. Although I should probably include raw pictures since the plastic can interfere.

Reflections through the plastic does make it a bit more difficult to see clearly. Certainly looks nice and red.

Plastic in flips will typically soften details on a coin's surface in a photo, so grading opinions are less reliable.

Appears to better than an average 68S - it's very nice, possibly full steps - which are difficult for the issue. The strike is quite nice for the issue as well, EDS. Can't read the fields too well in that plastic though.

66RD

MS-65 or 66RD, pics outside the flip will help.
