<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1117227, member: 7957"]I don't know just where to put this coin. Woodies are hard to photograph, hard to see in hand and the TPG's seem to be even harder on them with their grading. All of that being said, this is about the best struck 23-S I have seen - and I mean searching Heritage's 64's and 65's to see if there is a better struck coin. BTW, in hand, there is a lot more red to the coin than shows on the pictures. There are only a couple little ticks on it and it has at least descent luster. I cannot tell you why it did not get a 64 safe for the wood graining. PCGS called this a 63. That does not surprise me considering it is a woodie, but I think it should go a bit higher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
