64+ (plus) is the closest a coin can get to gem without actually being gem. Depending on the coin and series, they can be highly eye appealing examples before a big jump in price for a 65–for ex., a 1928 Peace Dollar.
I especially love a 64+ with CAC approval (yes, I know they ignore the plus) and often big strongly on these.
Let’s see your nice 64+ coins, from any TPG.
(all of these are 64+ CAC)

The flip my dad saved from the purchase.
Nice coins in this thread. I just checked my inventory and I don’t have any 64+ ones, so no pics from me for this one 🌝

Has the look of a much higher grade...Another one of my favorites.
This is an extremely appealing coin! IMO.
The few I have ... I agree "closest a coin can get to gem without actually being gem"
Judd-54 PR64+ RB & CAC Low R.6
Judd-124 Low R.7 PR64+ & CAC
Judd-1746 R.8 PR64+ Cam (However no CAC - I did not care as only 2 are Known)
I really like your example of this neat 2c pattern, with Simpson pedigree to boot. Wonderful.

I think I have some others (with toning?) but without having to check and photo here is a previous one from the snap-o'matic.

Dont own it anymore but this sort of had that 65 luster, of course limited by a few hits.

Love the 2 cent in the OP. Here are two of mine:
And to the point of the OP, this one was purchased 64+ but is now 65. Pretty large spread between grades on this one

Thanks ... the history of the piece also included John Jay Pittman and in the auction Oct 1997 by David Akers it was noted JJP had purchased from Abe Kosoff’s 1958 ANA Convention sale ... a couple of great notables.
Some very nice coins here in this thread.
My only 64+ is this PR64+DCAM
This example is very clean for 64 +

It's not a 64 and doesn't belong here. We can remedy this problem... Send to me for immediate removal and relocation.
