This beautiful lady came across my desk today & all I have to say is WOW ! Just wanted to share a look at this coin- So take your best guess at what NGC graded this at & I'll reveal tomorrow . The last picture is kinda weird due to the fact that it is so hard to get the rainbow toning to show up thru plastic - the bright white center is just the reflection of the lamp but I think you get the jist.
Gorgeous coin !! The last pic is really the key to grading that one as without it's hard to notice the PL fields. The first two pics show the cameo effect but not the reflective fields. 64 I'd say.
Now that I see samjimmy's post I realize I should have clarified - MS64. And I suspect they gave it the PL designation.
I"m guessing that the coin will look more stunning in hand, more so than the images I see on the screen. I would say Proof 66.
Well Doug strikes again ! Good on ya !, but I figured you would get it right - Here is the other pic. Cheers- Bud
I really couldn't tell---it looked sooo much like a proof but something about it and the detail didn't ring true with being a proof. Speedy
