I picked this up last weekend at a local show. I thought I would share it with you guys and do a GTG on it. Comments are always welcome. :)

    Looks very nice. 66 is my guess.

    I'm feeling 65 . . .

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    65, dont like the scratch underneath the S in pluribuss, but not too bad, is that a die crack thru "rib" in pluribus?

    66, since everyone's on the 65 train. Cleaner cheek. little breast rub , fields really nice. Hair detail above average for date.

    Thank you all for your comments thus far. I really enjoy hear all the feedback.

    Yes, that is a die crack through RIB. This coin has a lot of die cracks on the obverse, not all are visible in this image. I shot these to highlight the luster and surface conditions (The surface flaws are really popping out in the image).

    I just started this thread 4 hours ago. Typically at least 24 hours are given to let others have a chance to see and guess. If you want to know the answer you can PM me, I'd be happy to share there to make it fair for the others. :)

    Knowing your style, I will guess it's 65 but if you cracked it, could go 66.

    It's actually a newly discovered O/CC, I just had to remove the MM using Photoshop. Otherwise, I would be flooded with requests to buy it. :p

    So almost all of you nailed this one. This is an older green PCI holder MS-65. It looks to me like it has a pretty good chance to upgrade. It's always nice to be a buyer that buys the coin, from a dealer that sells the holder. :)

    Glad to see there are still some of these old PCI slabs "in the wild". But one less now it seems. Nice find.

    I wouldn't count it out yet. I have a tough time bringing myself to crack out slabs.

    LOL. Yeah, it's looks at least 98% white. It might even get this bean if I send it to @ricko

    That slab pic looks a lot more marked up than the op, but the luster stands out on both pics, could go either way depending on the mood of the room.

    If I owned it I would would keep it as is , and when it got time To sell, I would let the buyer decide if it had upgrade potential,

    I agree. The slab shots show off the flashy luster that is present, but also make it look worse than it does in hand. The original images are a lot closer to how it presents in hand. I think she will stay in the holder she resides in. If she had been in one of the newer gold labeled PCI Holders or the newer retro green PCI holder, I'd break her out.
