I don't recall the Mint presentation but I did attend the Lincoln presentation, enjoyed it very much, and mentioned that to you afterwards. There...
I guessed 53 but that's a win for photo-grading a gold coin. At least I'll pat myself on the back and come up with any rationale to justify it....
WD-40 (and other light oils) don't actually polish out the scratches. What the oil does is fill the scratch and act like part of the plastic slab...
OK, @chlorinated. I give up. What is this? Other than King George III of England and silver, I can't figure out which part of the British Empire...
Well, I'm notoriously indolent but I look up every TPG cert number and every CAC coin before I bid or buy. This is where self-preservation wins...

Great reportage @ddddd. Love about to hear about collectors' and dealers' impressions of shows.
Ditto 55. And, where ya been @physics-fan3.14? Missed your cogent, pithy and sometimes acerbic commentary. I'll bet you were off world through...
This may have been covered before but I don't recall it. Anyway, I have a number of coins in these old-style holders like the one shown, mostly...
53. Hard to grade from photos anyway and gold inside a flip is even harder. But I see wear (not just luster breaks) and not much luster left....
66FB. Nice looking coin.
That dollar grade is wrong in so many ways. Even accounting for the leeway the TPGs give these LS dollars, the PMD on this coin should have...
I don't really look at Franklins but I wholly agree this coin is undeserving of the grade by a long shot.

Cool find!
PR-62.
I was a very good in 1964, too.
Yeah, either VG-10 to F-12. My first gut reaction without thinking about it was F-12.
