    That is an outstanding looking coin. I just got a MS69 back from PCGS today. Compared to mine, yours should be a 70 (your picture is a lot better also).

    The strike on yours is very sharp. The crease in his neck goes pretty deep.

  • Trooper, both coins were bought in sets. I cherrypicked the 1956 proof set this AM, and have been making payments for a few weeks to acquire the 1998 SMS set. The 56 proof set actually helped two other coin sets. I needed the quarter for my raw proof quarter collection and the grand daughters needed the nickel for their collection. Worked ou pretty well....Ken
