This does not look like a MPL to me. What says you?

1912 in a NGC PR 66 RED holder

While you can not see any markers, the weak strike of the Obv and the rounded rim on the Rev suggest to me NGC got it wrong. Or is it me?

    Looks like a proof to me, brother.

    It looks proof to me as well. I like how they list the CU price guide as $40k instead of the NGC price of $18k in 66RD.

    I could not imagine NGC getting it wrong, but for $18,000 it sure better have a better strike that this.

    More than likely this is the result of a bad image. Depending on the lighting and focus, the coin can look flat or can show tons of detail. I think this is the former.

    I would find it hard to believe that NGC got it wrong also, given the high grade of the coin and how available diagnostic information is.
