Thanks Duck! I bought it raw on e-bay about a year or so ago. It was in a 2x2 flip and the shot was from a distance. Based upon the photos, the coin was real clean and the toning looked legit. I surmised that the coin was in one of those coin boards from the '30's and had been there for a long time before it was plucked free. So, I took a gamble (actually not much of a gamble from a monetary perspective). When the coin arrived in-hand, my initial thoughts were confirmed although I realized that there was a chance that the old "questionable color" bodybag could result. I sent it in....
PCGS concurred that it was NT and it now resides in an MS65 holder...

And I am serious, as it seems to have 'skin' and a bit of dirty crustiness.
Good thing it's not monotone blue with a funky sheen to it. Here's one I had a while back. Although it was not monotone blue, it had some funky sheen going on, and I didn't like it. So, I sold it. For a loss.

I see the diagnostic too, so I'm thinkin it's not a proof!!
Looks like a nice example, I'm thinking 65 as well, probably NT.

Otherwise, it is a solid 65 imho.
