That's a pretty proof. Tough to grade from that glamour shot but what the heck... PF66+

How are the hairlines in person?

Or maybe 64, 67 or 68 too.
Proof coins can’t be adequately assessed for meaningful grade guesses, based on images.

wonderful coin - hard to say as i can't see hairlines from the pic - but I would grade it PR66+ or PR 67. Nice toning.
Stunning coin
Sorry I can't take a guess.

As all we have is the photo, I would feel that the photo is worthy of a PF67 grade. Couldn't guess at cam from photo. Inhand may change the worthiest grade. Beauty from photo.

I say A+. That’s a beauty. PF67
Proof.
Being able to see the magnitude of the hairlines would better inform a guess. Can't do so with the pics provided.

I think @MFeld said it best and I will refrain from proof gtg's moving forward.
It's graded PR61. I think they were rather harsh when compared to other old proofs in my collection. There are hairlines on this coin, but they are not crazily distracting like other low-grade examples I've seen.
Hairlines aside, the coin is still stunning in hand and mirrors Phil's glamour shot well.
Regardless of the grade, based on the pictures, at least, the coin is absolutely gorgeous.
And many, if not most Proof coins at that grade level are heavily hairlined and/or cleaned.
I’m really glad you posted it, because it serves as a perfect example of the point I keep trying to make about the folly of grading Proof coins from images.

Wow, I did not see that coming.
Wow. PR61 is normally an awful grade for a scratched up cat turd. That’s the most gorgeous pr61 I’ve ever seen…

Wow ,that's unfortunate. TV looks so much better. Still a beauty.
This is why I asked how the hairlines were in person, to which I didn't receive an answer for and therefor could not even begin to offer a grade.
