So a weak strike coin that spent a lifetime in a cabinet? The highpoints suggest rub/wear even if it got the originality bump. When did PCGS grade it?
Time to give it a new skin. Do you have a coin cabinet?
Judging any proof coin thru photos is absolutely ridiculous sometimes. Unless the lighting is right the mirrored surfaces can and will show...

I am not a big fan of the spotty toning. Still a wonderful coin. PF65CAM

Both are the same coin, same slab. I like the sold price, And think the coin would be 10X better in hand. I wouldn't be in it for $1000. Peace...

Not a big fan of the toning. But a pretty Half Dollar. PF65 CAM.

65* Beautiful coin JTlee. Could be a 66 but I don't see the blazing luster.
Yeah the positioning is off. I am voting Die Chip.
@Insider What makes you think this could be as low as AU58? Well even a details coin? At this point the thread has gone in quite a different...
It's all good. Thanks for your input.
