<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 794011, member: 19165"]The seller actually did a pretty good job with pictures of this beautiful coin. It arrived in the mail this afternoon, and I love it. The obverse is not as strongly mirrored, but the reverse looks every bit of a Cameo Proof. The strike is also quite strong - what SBA collectors call "Full Talons" (incidentally, Full Talons are rather difficult on the 80D, but not as bad as the 80S). I have no doubts whatsoever that this coin would cross to an NGC PL holder, will probably get the * for the cameo reverse, and I would probably grade it 65. TPG's are very hard on prooflike coins though, so it might only be a 64. Whatever the grade, this is a unique, one of a kind, very special coin - even if it is an SBA. </p><p><br /></p><p>Quick note to bhp3rd - PCGS will only designate PL on Morgans. NGC will designate on all series. Looking at the NGC Census, there are no SBA's graded PL from 1979 to 1981 (and only 10 from 1999). Semi-pl SBA's might be semi-common - but one with deep mirrors and a fully cameo'd reverse is anything but common. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/JPA850obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/JPA850reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
