what grade did PCGS give this coin. -No I cant see any scratches with coin in hand. My camera lens -Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro on a sony ZV-E10 mirrorless camera with hot shoe macro lights very close to the coins so sometimes it brings out stuff you normally dont see.   |

I think this could make a PR65 but color is hard to tell from the photos RB maybe, it seems more like a BN in the photos. However in hand it may have more luster.

I dont know how PCGS gets those coins to look so nice maybe they are moving the light and photo stacking.   |

Nice coin but I don't see it as an RB, unless it was when it went in the holder.

Nope they do move or change lighting angles and exposure values but AFAIK not stacking, they do have the privilege of shooting them out of the plastic tomb though, makes it much easier to be sure the coin is exactly perpendicular to the sensor and the entire coin is in focus. Phil Arnold is the main photographer at PCGS/Collectors Universe and he shoots just about all of the true view images as well. You can find him on Instagram also.
