Forgot I ordered a TrueView, too, just for kicks. I corrected the color a tad as the coin looked more yellow in the original TrueView than it does in hand. The pics in my original post make the coin appear too gray. It's true color is probably somewhere between the TrueView and my original pics.
I also enjoy how they now offer a png. format. Below I tried to adjust the color to best match the in-hand look

I say XF45
I agree with Barndog....why Express service?
O-118??? Now that would be fantastic.

Nice coin Brian and has a good look to it. Where can you find this variety chart for coins?? Is this coinfacts? >>
PCGS doesn't provide a value chart for every series. They got around to valuing the Overtons only a few months ago. I've seen VAM values slowly appearing on CoinFacts, too.
I'm sure their goal is to make such a chart for every variety series in CoinFacts, but don't expect it to happen over night.
EDIT: Sorry, I read your question wrong. Maibockaddict is right. Go to PCGS Priceguide and click + symbol to the left of the PCGS No.
WTG, Brian! You felt it was AU and PCGS agreed. You both should know best.
As for your images and the True Views, and their color:
Getting the correct image color is tricky. First there's choosing the proper white balance camera setting by picking the light source closest to what you are using. And then there's tweaking it with your post processing editor.
If you then compare your photos to the coin in hand under incandescent, florescent, halogen, LED, and ordinary daylight you will see that each type of lighting changes the coin's color. You can go mad, adjusting temperature and tint. I always settle on ordinary daylight. The trouble is I don't always have it.
True Views often have excessive red and yellow...likely from halogen lighting, which I suspect is Phil's favorite. Easily corrected with an editor. But Phil's a factory and can't always spend the time, I suppose. Lance.

Brian it looks as if there is some super secret stuff going on to allow you to cross to the dark side
