i think you found a really nice proof example. the obv is just stunning.
PF65CAM. the reverse might hold it back from a 66 grade.
if the reverse looks better than the photo it could be as high as 66DCAM. cant wait to see the in hand photos when you get it so i'll leave that grade on the table until then

That is an amazing coin. It's higher than PF65, I think its got to be PF66CAM! Excited to see more photos of this and to know the grade.

Thanks everyone. Talking to my rep at HA, she was telling that they are testing a new imaging setup in house. Not sure that I'll be able to improve on the spectacular images they have provided, especially for a coin encased in plastic. As I said in the past, I think the industry will go onto 3D surface imaging and AI to identify each coin uniquely and that will remove a lot of confusion in the market. Perhaps that will eventually cut down the risk of theft and malfeasance. Certainly it will provide better survival counts.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Based on the new images I'm tempted to call it PF66CAM, maybe even UCAM...  |

With new images, I'll stay at a strong PR65CAM. If it came back higher, I wouldn't be surprised. Killer example for sure  |

Thank you for all of your kind comments. For those who haven't already looked it up.

This came in. Photos don't do this coin justice. It looks spectacular in hand. I don't purport to be able to photograph coins the way Heritage does with my phone, but my photos picked up some of the orange and purple tones in the fields and peripheral devices. I think the contrast between the fields and devices is stronger that what my photos picked up, specially in the reverse, apparently this changes with the lighting dramatically.

Looking at all of the new photos, IMHO it is undergraded. This looks like a PR-66. The CAM on the eagle and wreath is spectacular.
