I agree with jbuck, below melt makes it a good buy.
As for grade .. hard to say from a pic.
I do think it has good eye appeal. I do see a couple small marks in the field in front
of Ike's nose and another in the upper hair area. These are small, but I think they fall
into the focal area where grading is more critical. All I see on the reverse is a small mark
on the rim at 11 o'clock position.
I do know, pictures show the marks/rubs more than if your are holding it in your hand.
I could see a MS 65, but if it really does look better in hand .. I could see it going higher.
Edit ... I like taking a second look .. leaning more to MS 66
I am not trying to be negative .. just saying what I see ..
I would have no problem putting a coin like that in my Dansco
