    Took about 17 nanoseconds to go Jenks PF69 and "Bravo" B)
    And a shout-out to Eric Streiner for getting and slabbing the very memorable Jenks proof set grouping. @MrEureka's protégé turned out OK ;)

    Excellent coin, and another good example of buying the coin on its merit.

    Are you going to cross it at a lower grade to PCGS?

    I doubt it. I still haven’t haven’t seen it in hand to give my own assessment of grade yet though

    Surprised you haven’t seen it in-hand.

    I wonder if it is possible to clean up the spot without destroying the coin or its overall originality. It is a beauty nevertheless, but the spot sticks out and detracts from an otherwise virtually flawless piece. Maybe @insider2 could hook you up with some tips.

    I have often said that there are "good coins in bad slabs" and this coin helps make that point, even if it's not exactly the type of coin I had in mind when I said it. ;) Thanks for sharing your NEWP with us and I hope you enjoy the coin...Mike

    The front looks to me to be as close to 70 as realistically possible. And the front is the side that matters. I love this coin.

    One of the BEST TD's ever........ But the obverse is probably a 69, with the reverse spot the reverse cannot be greater than 66. Grades are not meant to be reflective of beauty.

    So how many disagrees will i get for this post?

    I like it as a 67.

    I don’t know for a fact it’s ever been to CAC but most likely. The color is 100% original tissue toning - almost certainly from the Jenks sets

    The only reason it won’t CAC or cross is that it’s just not a technical 69 with the spot on the reverse. But some coins transcend their numerical grade - this is one of them. I’ve been contemplating a purchase for a year now and finally pulled the trigger

    If John called it a 68+, it had to have been to CAC right?

    It looks tons better in hand. The spot is barely noticeable and the fields just glow. It’s one of my favorite coins

    I'm not sure if this would interest you, so I'll throw it out as an FYI, but NGC now offers a service comparable to the PCGS True VIew service. At this grade level, the plastic will always be a pain.

    I know I've seen that coin posted by you before. Looks like you pulled the trigger this time.

    And that you can be healed from this sin of Non-CAC and Non-PCGS.
