A little twist today. FYI - this is my fave series, but I realize many of our members don’t have a lot to do with this type. So, along with your grade, guess if the coin has a sticker by number following:
1) EEPS
2) CAC
3) both
4) neither
To help, I don’t look to get a bean, but do look for the EEPS. Of course, if I like the coin well enough, I just might go with neither. Oh yeah, an extra pair of pics today, contrasting True View with some GOOD photography.
Good luck - the big reveal will be tonight.

3&4 are the True Views.

I'd call that a textbook MS-66. Yes, I guess it got Rick's sticker for sure.

I agree 66 with whatever sticker it has been submitted for

66 EEPS CAC

Looks 66, but my gut says and will go with 65, beaned.

I don't follow Rick's stickers so unsure.

66, EEPS, no bean

65 CAC

65+. Obverse tick just enough to hold it back

65+ EEPS.

I’ll say Photo Seal stickered, MS66.

What a phenomenal coin!

So tell us, looking at the coin in hand, is the coloring closer to the True Views, or more like the first two photos, making the PCGS photos “Not so True” Views?

I like it but then saw that obv hit and it bothers me a bit too much

In my opinion, I believe that obverse hit is what keeps it from a 67. On another thread regarding 1905 Indians, I posted a photo of my 66+RD, also with obverse hits, yet it merits that grade by PCGS, and stickers by both CAC and EERC (admittedly, their stickers only look at the whole grade number), but my point is the same.

Maybe I’m wrong?

Kudos to Eldorado9, Crypto, DeplorableDan & winesteven for nailing it! Thanks to all for grading.

Steve - the answer lies somewhere in between. The not so true view is a bit too dark; the “good” pics have a bit too much lighting but they’re closer to the coin in hand.
