    At least it has (some extremely exaggerated) elevation chromatics!

    Only a 65. They net graded.

    It did well at GC and then resold for a bit more on eBay. I have seen it offered at a show for even more.
    It does look pretty radioactive and I like the look (even if I have my doubts about it being market acceptable or not).

    Someone is asking $4500 now on the Bay.

    The same person had it at a show. It was lower but I don't remember how much.

    I think this one is a better deal at 1/8th of the price; plus I would say it is more market acceptable.

    Very surprised it ended up in a straight graded holder

    Friction on the coin- leg area, accounts for the grade.

    I've written this multiple times and I could obviously be wrong, but for the last several years (perhaps dozen years) it is my opinion that PCGS cares little about the origin of toning on modern (post-1965) coinage and this is especially true for toned ASEs. In my opinion, the toned ASE market that PCGS has helped flourish is littered with AT that PCGS doesn't care about.

    Yep I do like that one a lot - the way the toning frames the eagle.

    Agreed.

    I thought someone would dig up this old image on the topic …… though this one goes many years back now, still in the no-prong grading period.
