The prize is building your confidence at grading.
But no cheating.
PR63
It does have a hue, but not quite as orange as the TruView shows.
There are some hairlines that don't show in the TruView.
Thanks for playing and congratulations to those who went with PR63.

In order to assist with the GTG, could you provide us with a verbal description of how many hairlines the coin has under a bright lamp? The grading of proof Type coins is just so heavily dependent on hairlines, which don't necessarily show in TruView images.
At a glance, it looks like it has nice eye appeal and a string strike, even by proof standards. Nice coin!
I'll go out on a limb and say PR64.
Very tasty looking morsel!
Now, off to the cert page to check my skills...
Well... being a TruView, it is a beauty shot.... therefore, I would say PR67... Cheers, RickO
Proof 63
64
Beautiful! I think that the marks that are visible bring it down to a 63.
Can't view the hairlines as Rhedden notes. So that brackets it to 63-67. A little friction on the knee. I'd guess a PF64 CAM.
That coin is My-T-Fine.
PR64 is my guess.

based on the photos...PF64
All the 63 boys cheated, I have no doubt.

Nope. Scuffs in the field above the eagle appeared to be enough to limit the grade in my eyes
I cannot accurately grade a proof coin from a picture.
