A swag on my part, RB 64+. Looks like a nice strike overall. A beautiful example!

Everyone guessed within a small range--MS(63) to MS(65), with most giving this coin the RB designation. I don't see a lot of red in person, but the coin is fairly light and lustrous. It's a type coin for me.

Pacificoin: Great job in finding the "Fancy 5" subtype!

You guys agreed with PCGS on this one. I find that reassuring. I chose the coin because to me it looked very clean for a 64, and has a really good strike.

keep in mind you only need 10% red for RB
