In 5 years of collecting, I could only find one of this variety, and sadly it was only a G6.

Then I missed an AU55 in the Torex June 2015:

Today, that all changed .

It's not every day you get to upgrade your variety coin from a G6 to an MS64.Finest known?

Nice coin!
Nice find!
Good to see a high grade unattributed error going to a home where it will be appreciated.
Will you be resubmitting it for attribution?

Let me be the first to say VERY NICE CV!

Is that a die crack going over top of the crown on the reverse?

Looks like an around the clock die crack.
And the crack on the obverse fairly splits the queen in two.
Both dies were at the end of their life.
I'll have to check mine again.

Thank you

I will probably send it for a CCCS hard slab.

I agree, these dies were very much at end of life.

Whoh.... Where did you find that! Did the seller know it was an A/V?
What kind of value do you put on it... Surely a 5 figure amount right?

XNK is a recent cert #... I'm surprised ICCS didn't see the A/V
