I compared this one to the ICCS MS-66 that Hugh Powell had in his case at Coin Expo, and this one, while one grade point lower, is better in my opinion, because it has more original lustre.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 12:37 pm The coin is in a ICCS MS-65 flip. Sorry for the photography, but it is not easy capturing the beauty of this coin through two layers of plastic.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 1:02 pm Nice one SPP.If you don't mind me asking,how close is Trends estimated value for grade-rarities such as this. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 2:00 pm I paid well above Trends for this coin. Trends is about right for a MS-64 with about 50-60% red (ICCS still calls that 'Red'). There are three MS-65 Red in the PCGS registry (which means >90% red) and this is only the second one I have seen in an ICCS holder - that I would call red by PCGS standards. For grade rarity coins, Trends really does not apply...
