    Is it raw? Grade?

    Superb coin, strike, and color. Congrats! It beats my example. :+1:

    @atom : your example of this shilling is superb! The strike is better than my PCGS MS64 example, and the color and surfaces are superior to several MS65 and even an MS66 example that have sold over the past few years. Congrats again.

    A truly special coin! :+1::heart:

    Thanks, but your example is also a stunner!
    I'll have to admit I was expecting to receive a higher grade - even a MS66 - slightly disappointing.
    Many buyers are fixated on the labeled grade, not the coin. When seeing a coin like this I feel eye-appeal should be a greater factor in determining grade. The reflective surfaces are more pronounced that the images show, but I wouldn't be able to make pictures even close to Phil's.
