My Hallmark crossover to NGC

Some may remember a thread I started a couple of months ago about my purchase of a Hallmark slabbed coin on ebay.
My Hallmark Moment
I thought the coin looked great when I got it but I had some concern about possible PVC on the coin. I cracked it out and decided it didn't have any PVC on it so I had the local dealer send it in to NGC along with five other coins of mine. The dealer thought it was a 65 but said it could come back anywhere between 64 and 66. I thought it was a lock 65 with a shot at 66. NGC decided it was a 64.
It's got to be the best 64 around. It looks much nicer than my NGC MS65 RI with much fewer marks. The luster is a bit subdued which probably is what limited the grade. It's not really worth trying to submit it again. I got it for a 64 price so I didn't get hurt too bad.
The only other crackout I sent in was a 1917 Walking Liberty Half that came out of an old green PCI MS63 holder. NGC agreed with me on this one and put it in an MS64 holder. I guess you win some and you loose some.
