    This was purchased as a "GEF" from Spink about 2000, and is by far the finest I have ever seen, these pictures were basically taken in the dark and very poor:

    Quite a lot of red on there!

    What's the TPG grade?

    Hey, look, George actually had hair!

    Terrible picture also!
    PCGS 65RB. Need to look up cert number as their pics MUCH better. When I first got the coin from Spink, my jaw hit the floor - no way I could have a coin this nice given the Penny fanatics over there. Much nicer than the NGC 65RB sold recently.

    Cert # 2818123

    They have now taken their pictures down though.

    Yeah, no pix on the cert page. Wonder why?

    Recently graded? Should have a TrueView if so.

    Ask PCGS. Maybe shoot a PM to Phil Arnold (who is now "PCGSphoto", I believe), over in Collectors Universe.

    Or somebody like @messydesk could reshoot it.

    Spanish lady at customer service says she doesn't know what happened and it has to be re-imaged. Guess its the next B-more show for me!
