Pics are reasonably faithful, except for those faint green shadows, which happen whenever I dumb down to 300k.

I won't post the TrueLie pics unless you guys really wanna see them.

What say you?:

i say pass on the TV

PF65 in may squeak over the line to a 66 but there are some hairline on the neck and jaw area which probably will hold it back

PF-64, seeing small hairlines in obverse fields. Very attractive example.

Well they sure aren't downgrading on marks as there are almost none to see. Don't see why this is not a gem example.

the only thing I can think of is that they nailed it for the hairlines on the jaw and neck, also, its difficult to determine remaining luster due to the light glare. I can't see it less than 65 other than for the obv luster, based on the photo it appears there is some missing in the back of the head and in front of the forehead

Beautiful coin.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
