I've got a new one to share, but have to set up the camera. Hopefully this weekend..... In the meantime, here's a '21 HR (AU 58): [img] [img]

Yeah, I was in the process of editing in a comment about the lettering. That's another key feature that is often different between proof and...

A good point, that's why I said "really" rather than leaving out that adverb. My sense is, in the VAST majority of cases, die polish lines do not...
The new slab? I'd guess 66, and even a 67 would not surprise me. NGC and PCGS would take a much more conservative approach to grading a coin...

What type of ANACS slab is it in?
Separate names with a comma.
