    I can't say from those photos. Proofs are hard enough to judge from really exceptional pictures. How can you tell about hairlines or rub? But just for grins I'll guess PR65. I like the coin and I hope that it graded 64 or better.

    It's always a little sad to see another of these old holders die off.

    That's just amazing - a two point bump - the best I ever got was a 1 1/2 point bump:

    I was thrilled with that bump in grade - I can imagine you were elated beyond belief when you got your grade.

    Congrats on the nice bump.

    If you were 9 for 9 before this coin wouldn't you now be 10 for 10?

    You paid PR 65 money for it. Which doesn't surprise me -
    nice coins for the grade usually get a premium - [ same with
    the coin I posted - I paid MS 64+ money for it ]. You still did
    very well. Congratulations !!

    That's why it's important to know grading. It'd be tough to pay that for it if you didn't know it would upgrade.

    i didn't paid 65 money for the coin, b/c back then before the market crashed, PR 64 were trading for like $3,900 and PR 65 were probably like $7,500,PR 66 were like 13k??.

    I've had this coin in my possession for about 18 years before I decided to crack it out and resumbit to PCGS,had i gotten a PR66 grade 18 yrs ago,then yeah i could of made $9k,but in today's market don't think i can profit much,if any.

    By the way, nice 08-0 quarter.:thumb:
