Found this in a roll this afternoon. Like to think it'd go MS-63, but there are only 12 known and graded MS RD at any grade by PCGS so in general a pretty nice, rare find.

Wow! Did this come from the show or backstock? Maybe I should have gone!

Thanks! And Grapes, yes, rolls I bought today at the show. But this was a pre-arranged deal and was just there to pick them up and not a random roll stash find. Still 84 more to go through as only ran through 6 so far. Unfortunately the 1972 rolls were duds.

Super find and by the looks of it (LDS?) there should be plenty found, but like you say it is a difficult on to come across.

Happy surprise as this one came in at PCGS MS64 RD.

It's kind of a testament to how much this super macro photography shows every little flaw. The coin looks fine to the eye but all the mixed toning and tiny nicks show up in the photos and make things look worse than they are. But I still didn't think it would own a 64.

I'm jealous, Bats!

I went through 2 BU rolls of 1966 yesterday with nothing.

Exciting find!

Thanks folks! And Carl, what's with that Avatar you've got going there? You know I've got a couple of those myself, but not what I expected as your avatar. Very cool coin though.
