    I generally like some color on a proof but I suppose I can make an exception for this one ;)

    67 DCAM

    I'd say 68 DCam.
    I see that little nick on the cheek but the rest of it sure looks good.

    I grade it WILD.
    That is a tremendous coin.

    That looks like a planchette flaw on the cheek which if I’m correct are typically forgiven.

    Though the cloudiness on the reverse could hold it back I’ll go 66+ DCAM.

    I own a 67 DCAM CAC. Although I don’t like the back as well it might have graded 68 DCAM.

    I first thought 66CAM but could see as a DCAM.
    CAC also.

    I'm with @lermish in preferring a little color on proofs. But that's definitely a nice coin.

    For the nick on the Liberty's face and the little bit of bronzing on the cheekbone that helps call my eye to the nick, I'm going with PR 66+ DCAM.

    The scratches on the holder do the images no favor. @FlyingAl certainly knows the tricks and coulda put some mineral oil or compass oil on it, which would have ghosted out the marks at 3 o'clock on the reverse especially... but the oil would have dribbled every which way on that MyCollect video, so that'd be messy. :-)

    Looking forward to the reveal!

    My policy is to shoot the slab the way the collector delivers it to me. This is for mostly my safety liability wise.

    If a collector doesn't want slab scratches to appear in the images, it comes down to them to polish the slab beforehand.

    Reveal in a couple hours!

    IMO mirror depth on the reverse is lacking.

    From the PCGS picture it looks like frost breaks on the chin and neck.

    I was pretty close. That's a beautiful coin. I like them a little bigger but the images really show it off.

    The difference in value between this coin and your guess is 15K.
    Close?

    Fantastic coin - yes, reverse is just a touch weak!
