    Usually these don't get me too excited, but this sucker knocked me off my feet when I got it yesterday. I'm tempted to crack it and see if I can get a 65, but I don't suppose it's worth it, in terms of risk/reward.

    I'm having trouble finding anything that I would consider heavy bag marks, or find distracting. I'd put it at 65, but I don't think that it's worth the expense to crack it out either. Pretty coin.

    I triple dog dare you...

    Normally I would say try it, but the market for these is kind of all over the place.

    Hard to see, is it just short of full head? Looks decent in that regard too.

    Just barely short of a FH. At first glance my eye completes it, but alas, no.

    I quadruple dog dare you... just kidding if it were me i'd keep it in the slab but I've never been in contact with one so honestly I can't talk from personal experience, just what I think I would do.

    All I'm saying is that it's a shame to see an MS65 trapped in an MS64 slab. Obviously the fact that the one-point jump raises it's value between 30% and 50% has nothing to do with it, but it would more than set-off the cost of the re-slabbing. And if you want to start a brawl, don't ask if it's worth the risk, ask everyone's opinion about which TPG to send it to.

    I think it's correctly graded. It sure is a nice coin, but overall it doesn't look like it could make MS65...
