Just received this one yesterday in the mail! (I've been looking for this elusive beauty for a WHILE!)

It's currently in an ICG slab (and will probably remain so...)

(It does make the pictures fairly hard to take however...)


What do you all think ICG graded it?


Thanks for looking!

I gonna go with a MS-66, it looks pretty good to me for sure. In my defense I think it could go a bit higher but I'll stay with my first guess.

PR64 nice overdate but can't tell if it's strong or weak overdate from the photos.

From ICG I'll say they graded it PR65,

. PCGS has never graded one of these higher than PR66. If it is in a PR65 or better holder then I'd leave it in the ICG holder too! But I still think it's a PR64 from PCGS, maybe even a PR63 as I see some ticks on the reverse and a tiny planchet flaw that would keep it out of a really high end PCGS holder, the obverse has a few tiny marks but nothing I see as major.

Moe, is your last name Eliasburg? You are putting up some incredible coins! I think I see PR65.

I am in at PF64+ (can't make up my mind between 64 and 65), I'll wager it is in a 63 holder.

If your name is not Moe Eliasburg, then you must be spending time with Prethen. This is a beauty!

Looking at this again (I knw, quelle surprise), I think I see reflective surfaces through the plastic. Does ICG give cameo or a similar designation?

This is a stunning coin moe145. Congratulations on adding this one. I say they graded it PF65. I think its its one point higher.

Not sure of the grade but a beautiful example of an unappreciated denomination.
