<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 4549158, member: 87737&quot;]The images posted were from PCGS. The slab photo is from Heritage. This coin sold 4 times on Heritage, all in the same slab, and at 67 money +/- (none to me, but I do own the coin). I prefer NGC for the commems, and feel it would have <i><b>at best</b></i> gotten a 66 there, but I&#039;m much more comfortable at 65.</p><p><br /></p><p>In hand under &#039;normal&#039; lighting, the marks on the cheek blend or disappear into the beard, and aren&#039;t noticeable. It&#039;s only with a loupe or with bright direct lighting from certain angles do they jump out.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the obverse color, (which I salute PCGS for being able to really bring out) the Heritage images show the true in-hand colors. The colors are there, especially with a loup and strong lighting, but I cant reproduce it without monkeying around in Photoshop, and I&#039;m a pretty knowledgeable photographer. The reverse looks like the PCGS image.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I like the coin, it&#039;s my only &quot;67&quot; in my commems, and it catapulted my registry set into the top 100 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> which I&#039;m pretty happy about.</p><p><br /></p><p>So without any further ado, and a thanks to all who participated...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126184[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
