This is what I was thinking too, so I'll just quote your wise words for all to read again. :D
It looks sharp but I fear that the photo is obscuring either a cleaning or whizzing. So my guess is AU Details.
PR 64 …I thought it might be a business strike prooflike at first but think the rims and details make it more likely to be a proof
While many monsters are higher grades, they don't technically need to be a 64. There are monsters at lower grades too (the higher the grade the...

It is a nice toner in an older holder-both of which are big pluses! I would call it a mid level toner based on what I see from the one photo.
I was going to let this thread disappear into the ether but @Sunflower_Coins liked my post, so I figured I'd see if I'm the only one silly enough...
A big congrats! And now on to the next twenty!

Looks like I was higher than PCGS (you can see I didn't cheat :p)....it's very nice for a 64
I was between 64 and 65...gave it the benefit of doubt with a 65 since the obverse looked quite clean.
MS 62 can definitely be nice (although this one was downgraded to 62 by PCGS from an NGC 63 holder). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I don't think there is any issue to own one. It can serve a hole filler and an educational piece to study. The issue is trying to sell it as the...
MS 66 not FS....luster and obverse carry it to a 66 grade but there are just enough ticks on the steps (including some that break the steps under...
