    Really like this one. Maybe not "completely original" but certainly well preserved and a great looking example of the series. Based on the pics it looks like it might go 64 today (though I doubt you would try to cross it). Only uncertainty is the right obverse field. Would need to see in hand to evaluate the marks. Awesome pickup 👍

    I think the color (and possible rim issues at 2:00 on the obverse) would be more of an impediment than the marks in the right obverse field. Also, I can't tell what I'm seeing near the obverse rim at roughly 7:30-8:00. Regardless, to me eye, it's an attractive, honest uncirculated coin.

    No rim issues. What you are seeing in the photo is either an artifact or the remnants of the proof like edge of extra rim material found on proofs. The isn't a proof but has proof like feathers/characteristics. Some minor minor handling marks in right obv field that are not distracting in hand compounded by a major scratch in the holder over that area unfortunately.
    That being said any imperfections the coin may have is subject to anyone's opinions and all opinions are relevant and justified. I wish I had a better photo for all to peruse.

    In that case, I’m glad I wrote “possible rim issues” and not “rim issues”.😉

    The coin is good, it is not bad, and it is not ugly !

    Looks like a 63 to me. And probably an old ANACS slab. Sweet looker regardless! :sunglasses:

    That guy is amazing.

    just when I was starting to forget that I miss the disagree button, up pops something like this. Well-played, sir. Well played.

    Glad you like it, Realone. I also thought it was pretty special, and was also thrilled to own it for just a bit..
