Recent upgrade for my registry set. This year is a tough one for the 30's. No known fully struck examples are known, and it's difficult to find well struck, especially in EDS-MDS. This one is better than average strike for the year and EMDS/MDS. If another comes along in the same grade and better struck I'll likely snag it, but I'm happy with this one for now.

It's already in my registry set, so no cheating on the grade

Beauty! I'll take a stab at MS-66. Tiniest bit of strike weakness in the center is all I can find.

My 64 grade reflects the low luster surfaces.

This one graded MS-65.

My photos never tend to capture luster as well. I'd say luster actually looks closer to the truview, with the reverse being stronger. This date is known to have have frosty/satiny luster. It is slightly subdued though, which I believe is what held it back from 66. As far as contact marks (next to none) and strike, it's a 66 in my book, luster keep me it to 65.
