<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 203825, member: 7957"]That coin is 99+ uniform red with no flecks on the shoulder that I can detect. As to the strike, every whisker on his beard is full. Anything that contradicts these is my camera's fault. The reason I put it here is that it has been slabbed by PCI (gold label). They graded it 65 RED This coin has more shine, more uniform color, no more nicks, and no more spotting than any MS66 red I have by NGC or PCGS. I was trying to figure out what I was missing. Since PCI is noted for liberal grading, I was trying to make some sense of it. Without the spot, I would grade it at least 66. After looking at the pictures on Heritage, I still think it should be MS66 and I am positive it would be red.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some one mentioned proof. I looked at the pictures of proof coins also. This coin looks more like the proof coins on Heritage than the business strikes. I say this mostly because the lettering is finer on the proofs while it is heftier (for lack of a better word) on the business strikes. The lettering on this coin is identical to the pictures of the proofs on heritage. Having never seen a proof from tht era, how can I tell if it really is a proof?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
