I would be in the 63 group on this one. The cheek and the obverse field hold it back from a higher grade. The reverse is darn near perfect!

Thanks, everyone. I think the Heritage photos I posted accentuated the scuffing on the cheek, which are mainly frost breaks. Here's the slab and PCGS TrueView photos. This one has fewer contact marks than many other 65's.

The TrueView or whatever it's called sure does make it look 65
