  I gave it a 66 before I went and peeked. Nice look!

  I don't have it in hand yet but the trueview looks great. Its graded PCGS MS65 surprisingly. I got it for $149 on ebay and was the only bidder. That tells me there are not a lot of people even looking at early commems...and that's good for us commem collectors. There are still some steals. This was a live auction. I hope with a close watch I can pick up some more of these gems.

  That is a fine looking coin! I wonder why it graded 65 rather than 66--which would have been my guess also. I see a ding or something near his ear but I know that BTWs typically have planchet roughness on his cheek. That's maybe a little high for planchet roughness, so maybe it actually is a grade-reducing ding... When you get it in hand, it would be interesting if you posted your analysis.
  
  
  
  Regardless, I think that coin is sure a lot prettier than a lot of 66s (and higher) BTWs that I've seen.

  Very unpopular issue which lots of choices date wise for a 50 piece set. Comes nicely toned. Very nice pick up

  Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
