Why?

3 1 11834018 206560 1965 Crown Churchill Gr.Britain MS65

Yes boys and girls, you read that correct, a MS65 Churchill Crown image

My other grades from the submission:

4 1 11834019 206560 1965 Crown Churchill Gr.Britain MS64
5 1 11834020 32595 1967 S$1 CANADA PR65
6 1 11834021 31244 1967 5C CANADA PL64
7 1 11834022 32333 1967 50C CANADA PR67

edited to add: PCGS's pop report only shows 2 Churchill Crowns at the MS65 grade and none higher. My coin is definately 100% original.

    The one time that you should have asked for TrueView and you haven't! Congrats anyway. image


    It would be fun to watch the MS64 on ebay, I would definetely bid high and often on it when it's listed.

    I should have TrueViewed it. I was afraid it might have only graded MS64 and I really didn't want to spend another $10 for TrueView if the coin wasn't going to grade MS65.

    I'm sure wybrit will weigh in with a pithy comment but I'm also sure that secretly he'll be jealous of you and the coin!

    well done.

    wow, congrats very much Don! I know this has been the object of your search for awhile, and it must feel great to achieve it!

    by the way, the higher grades don't mean that PM Churchill will get any better looking on the coin, you're kinda stuck with having a non-appealing picture of him. image

    Toned or white?
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    White. Well, as white as a Cu-Ni coin can be.

    Congrats! And if that lousy MS64 might be available I am looking for a nice one for my birth year set... My birthday is 7 months away in case you want to set it aside as a present. image

    Congrats again and I really am looking for a nice one for myself!
