Pretty coin but I don't feel it's a proof.
Everything looks fine but it's not very pretty for MS-65. I'm thinking the coin looked much better when graded but turned dark over the years in...

You win Kurt. You are 100% correct. I should have never posted a different opinion in your thread. No one should ever do that. Only those that...
