Not sure how well this goes over as far as sizing though, but it is a Doubled Die, so there is going to be visual differences that are on it that aren't on non-doubled die coins and I think there is a bit more leniency for die condition and softness of strike considering the doubling which is part of the attribute.

[ATTACH=full]1205552[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1205553[/ATTACH] yeah it didn't quite work out as I had hoped the pictures would, too small still, but you can easily look up the variety and pictures on their site if you choose to. I think his strike is sharper than the example MS65, But weaker in the ponytail area than the MS66 example. except for the hit on the stairs, his coin has fuller steps than either example does, not that it means much, but his reverse stairs are absolutely nicer in my opinion. I am looking forward to you returning with a picture after it's graded! :)[/QUOTE]
