Owner's Description

The '67-S is unknown in uncirculated condition, and there are only five known in AU58, two in PCGS holders and three in NGC holders. Since no PCGS coins and only one NGC coin has been sold at auction, it is likely that this number includes resubmissions (most likely for this coin which many believe is UNC). This coin has a good strike, although there is weakness on the top of the hair, on the bun and on the claws and arrows. The luster is subdued satin on the obverse with rich frost on the reverse. There are no major abrasions on the coin. Is this the finest '67-S known? I think so. Purchased from Ron Karp.
