On this coin the toning is a little thick and there is a spot near Washington&#039;s shoulder. Therefore, I can fairly confidently eliminate the PR70 &amp; PR69 grades. Now I can&#039;t say whether the coin is PR63 or PR66 or PR68 based on the pic, but I can eliminate some. </p><p><br /></p><p>I fell that GTG like this will only give people false confidence that they can grade proof coins from an image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
