Saw this recently on the Bay, went for a pretty good sum too. Never seen one of these and the seller would not identify it even though I asked.

Appears to be a nice strong 64 and more likely a 65.

I think you're right. The name is on the back of the slab label.

Coin was bid higher than I would have thought. Look here about the slabbing company. Here:

Surprised to see stalwarts Steve Ivy and James Halperin along with their apparently newly formed Heritage company implicated. There must be more to the story. The way the charges read I guess it was lucky they didn't end up with jail time or probation like the Wall Street Guys of today.
Here is an auction I won earlier this month. It shows what comes with the salb.

What are you doing buying that date?? And worse yet, at full PCGS pricing!
I actually have both of those slabs somewhere around. I never got my portion of the 1.2 Million though!!

Well I got that one for a friend of mine and a 1879 S for me. We had never seen one of those.

Not much incentive to punish/jail those that "just" fleece the public. If loose grading standards were a crime, probably 70-80% of the leading dealers who operated in the 1970's and early 1980's would have qualified. Lots of skeletons in the closest from those "wild, wild west days." Being a stalwart today doesn't necessarily have much bearing on what one might have done 20, 30, or even 50 years ago.

Back in 1969 when I was stationed at Ft. Bliss in El Paso, Steve Ivy would occasionally show up for shows in El Paso. He was known by a lot of the locals as the Whiz Kid.
I actually bought a few decent coins from Steve Ivy Rare Coin back in the mid-1970's. But my first purchase from the newly formed Heritage Corp. in 1983 was not good. I
was sent a "gem unc" 1858-0 seated quarter for $3,000. At that time I had a standing offer to pay $4,000 min. for any gem unc O mint seated quarter. Imagine my surprise when
what I received in the mail was a stripped and lifeless AU58 coin worth no more than $400. Coincidentally, I did find an actual gem unc 58-0 quarter that same year via
Superior's Brad Bohnert in one of their auction sales. Paid $4300 for the real deal. 5 yrs later it slabbed out as NGC MS65. I've never seen a finer one since. Also found a NGC MS62
specimen at auction in 1988 for $550. That one was also considerably nicer than the $3,000 AU of 5 yrs earlier.
