Apologies for the poor photos. I had a lot of trouble trying to get anything of value with a still shot. Hopefully the video is of greater use!

Nice coin, that one reverse hit might keep it out of 66.
MS-65

the big question is who would pay to have this graded? I guess to each his own.

The results: NGC MS67RD

For some context, I bought this coin pretty much sight unseen on ebay when I was early in my numismatic journey. I frankly don't see how this coin got the ms67 grade unless I am missing something about the reverse gash. There is no doubt that it has gorgeous color and booming luster but technically seems questionable.

It is curious that someone decided to do so. A bit of a head scratcher but they were rewarded for it as much as I can imagine!
