    OK, 64? Why not 65? Is it the color?

    Very very pretty. Not sure how it stayed looking so good for so long. Are you pretty sure it is real? I am no expert, and definatly not a grader.

    That is a superior 64 to be sure. Do you think it is the color on the reverse that held it back?

    Are you saying 64? It looks like it's in a NGC.

    variability = opportunity

    As to why they called it 64.
    Can't be the detail,, can't be the strike... so, being picky:
    1 - there are few light spots to the lower left of abe... in hand, almost invisible unless your looking for them,, under 10x, more prominent and visible.
    2 - reverse, maybe the color,, the center top portion is beginning to turn that 'cherry' red color..... although I have pcgs MS65 RD's which are way more 'cherry' toned than this one. The tone is attractive and an adder in my eye... but is definitely an initial hint and precursor of RB unless the toning catalyst has been removed....

    ,,, I dig the discount and am very happy with this one.

    Nice! I remember that one - it was on my watch list but no bid - original seller's picture was pretty bad and guess I wasn't feeling lucky that day!
