This date in MS65 has eluded me for quite sometime and when this one was offered for sale, I pursued it with little hesitation. I find the die erosion around the throat pretty cool and it makes for strong mint luster overall. The reverse obviously shows a little more red mixing with brown which I think makes for an interesting effect.

I use two simple desk lamps in a darkened room, one with a 75w Spot flood lamp for focused incandescent light and the other one with a regular 100w incandescent bulb. The other two smaller lamps are for lighting up the inner recesses on older NGC slabs or other dark areas as needed. The plastic container was a quick way to bottom light my slabs so I can eliminate the dark shadows on PCGS and prong NGC slabs. I always have GOO GONE around to wipe off pesky sticker residue. The clear coat finisher polishing compound is always close and with a soft cloth wrapped around the electric toothbrush head, makes for pretty quick scratch remover. My camera likes to focus on either the coin or the scratches, so removing most of them first makes for crisper photos. Pretty low tech, but effective I think.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
