<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlm&#039;s cents, post: 203825, member: 7957&quot;]That coin is 99+ uniform red with no flecks on the shoulder that I can detect.&nbsp; As to the strike, every whisker on his beard is full.&nbsp; Anything that contradicts these is my camera&#039;s fault.&nbsp; The reason I put it here is that it has been slabbed by PCI (gold label).&nbsp; They graded it 65 RED&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; I was trying to figure out what I was missing.&nbsp; Since PCI is noted for liberal grading, I was trying to make some sense of it.&nbsp; Without the spot, I would grade it at least 66.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; I looked at the pictures of proof coins also.&nbsp; This coin looks more like the proof coins on Heritage than the business strikes.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; The lettering on this coin is identical to the pictures of the proofs on heritage.&nbsp; Having never seen a proof from tht era, how can I tell if it really is a proof?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
