In 1948, Dr. William Sheldon, a renowned numismatist, developed the Sheldon Scale, assigning grades from "1" through "70" to coins. The basis of Sheldon’s theory was that a "70" would be worth 70 times as much as a "1."
Okay, but he never said a 67 was gonna be worth 70 more times than a 66

Boy, you got me there
I really thought she..I mean this coin was gonna hit a 70, 69 at worst....Polls...
The bright light pic is to show all of the flaws.
@panexpoguy ...you win, choose your prize
She looks pretty nice! I'm not seeing any problems in the photos for a 68.
And I'm talking about the 1964, not the 1947.
The issue with not getting a higher grade on your 1964 is that the luster is semi-satiny.
Very common on this date but the graders don't "like" that look.
If it had deep watery black mirrors you may have gotten your 69.
This has been my experience with the 1964 proofs.
The coin looks exceptional but you have to realize that the graders have seen a boatload of them and for the coin to receive a 70 it would have to be a real honey.
Thanks you all for sharing !!!
I think that getting a 70 on a 1964 Proof or any coin of that era is virtually impossible. They just weren’t made that well and how the coin was made from the beginning is an essential part of the grade.
I ran into two original rolls of 1962-D half dollars. A couple of the coins were virtually as struck, but they were made so poorly, I couldn’t see anything beyond MS-63 for them. That’s why high grade examples are so expensive.
Where is that KC Chief's team photo ? This will have to do.
@mannie gray .Okay, so more red & black. Gonna have to search far and wide to please those guys. This years goal is too make a ms67 and a pr70 on any coin. My best so far ms65+ & pr69.

You guys may want to back off the political posts before this thread gets shut down.

Good point, PH. We can talk about coins, just not the folks that authorize them or are on them.
...no question that without involving politics or religion it’s Artie...yup 100 percent Artie Lange is my favorite loser and that is hands down...he taught me how to toss 1k on a sports wager with only $500 in my pocket
Mine was tongue in cheek and just for laughs. Politics are a waste of time.
Pete Best...the man on the drums..
That's a winner in my book TT!
Well, I've lost money on it, but it's a favorite....so it fits the category.

I bought a raw 1901-S half that had 58 details but came back QC. Painful lesson. No photo because it’s long gone thank goodness
