    As you can see it's in an old ANACS soap box holder.
    Correct terminology gets an extra point and any attributions gets anther.
    PS I had thought I did a GTG on this already, but couldn't find it.
    If I missed it no peaking. IMG_0001_2.JPG IMG_0002_2.JPG
    The mark behind the head and the scratch towards the rim above the date are on the slab.

    I was looking at previous auctions, this could prove difficult. Good luck.

    PF 66 cam
    Is this a type 2 ?
    I would say heavy cam but idk what that cheek splotch is- toning or un-frosted

    Also, is there a such thing as a Bugs Bunny proof??

    I looked that over, I will try to get a close up.
    There looks to be a raised die scratch, just not sure that it would qualify.

    They should all be FBL with a PF strike. The frostiness of the devices and therefore quality of strike determines the actual xx of grade.;)

    Here is a closer look at the Lips and the possible luster breaks. IMG_0001.JPG And a full photo of the close up. IMG_0002.JPG

    And difficult it was. The coin has a heavily frosted Franklin and devices.
    The cheek doesn't show in hand nearly the loss of frost that the Photo shows. ANACS gave this one a PF67 HVY Cameo. I think that it is correct.
    The devices are much frostier and complete IMG_0001.JPG than any 65 or 66 that I have seen.

    I give it the Heavy Cam seal of approval. :artist:

    When this coin was graded it was likely untoned with black fields and heavy Cam. I doubt it would grade 67 with it's present toning if submitted today, especially to ANACS.
