With less than a dozen photos posted by me, this is the best I could do. I think I need one of those round lights (overcast and cloudy here today in So. Cal/ no natural light)

That's the best light!

Lovely Philly mint example.

Photos are slightly out of focus, but from what I can see this is a lustrous Gem coin - I'll go MS65 and would not be surprised by MS66.

I will note that the chatter seen on the prow of Roger Willams canoe and the arm/torso of the greeting Indian figure are remnants from the original planchet marks from the coin not being fully struck up and not indicative of wear.

I would expect the PCGS graders understand this distinction - but we'll find out during the grade reveal.

Searching for several months for just the right coin, seemed most had that chatter so I chose this one because of the lack of marks/hits on the subjects faces.

Now without further ado

Beautiful coin, and the worthy grade does not surprise me at all.

And to PCGS credit they did not deduct grade points for the original planchet chatter.

You will encounter the exact same original planchet chatter challenge when searching for a nice Booker T Washington half. In this case the chatter is on BTW jaw and cheeks.

Thanks for sharing your lovely example.
