They say these are common but try to find one in high grade . I don’t get it.

Stunner! Where does it say that these are common in MS65? Maybe the final few years of the series, but even then good luck

It says it is a common date available in all grades .

But this is the only MS 65 at NGC or PCGS

So I don’t get it.....??

There are many descriptions like that in Resplandores .

Guessing when they say "all grades" they mean general grades rather than points. Probably not rare in UNC, just in 65

Yeah, the book was written well before anyone cared about micro-grading on these. Definitely one of the more frequently seen coins in UNC, but I could see it being truly tough in Gem.

A coin worthy of a youtube video, so one could appreciate the lustre of it.
