She is a beauty. I like the color a lot. Lots of eye appeal imo. I'll go 64 on it, maybe 63 if they are conservative. 65 wouldn't floor me either though.

Thank you Here's the old topic - it has toned and slightly darkened over the few years since; not a surprise due to the different environments it's been subjected to. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=64695

nod2003, in that old topic, also mentions he might see rub at a couple of places but it might be reflection. That was a pretty true representation of it at the time although the images were washed out a bit due to the axial lighting technique that I didn't exactly have down yet.

I'll let everyone know the grade when I get it back.

Looks like a good amount of die rust especially on the obverse relief. Very well struck too. I wonder if it's a proof coin or they were proof dies for the business strike. I'll be very interested in PCGS return.

I didn't know you had to do that separately; it would definitely be a candidate for it. I didn't handle the original submission (a forum friend did), and I'm not sure if he does the CAC stuff, too. I'll have to check that out.

Just picked it up from the post office and snapped a picture of the slab. I seriously think it's undergraded... but anyway, here 'tis

What's strange is it looks like it has less toning on it than before. I'm going to take some more close ups.

I think it'll grade at LEAST MS-63. Beautiful coin there!
