Its in an old NGC holder. Compared to all of the PGCS 67's at the aution this coin was clearly better without exception. It went for a premium but this was the finest St. (except the High Reliefs) at the aution.
Oh yea, thats what sold me. I decided to go through the lots of $20 Gold, knowing I would just drool and not buy. I pulled all the 67's out, the high reliefs and was in awe. I then hit this coin and was stunned, its like seeing an early Lincoln in 67RD. Just magic. I was able to compare it to all of the 67's, even the PCGS 67's and it was a nicer coin IMO. She does have a hit nearly dead center but that is the only hit I could see on the coin in person. The scans show a few more minor ticks but the coin is ultra clean. Old NGC holder, maybe she will upgrade????
Those high grade saints with superior eye appeal are my first love. I will die still owning at least one of them if I am able to stay in my right mind! Your new Saint is an exceptional example. Enjoy!
