    Really nice, I also thought 66+ was a given, grudgingly will say 64+ :#

    MS64? seems a bit low...

    Depends on when it was graded yesterday would’ve brought a 67+ today would bring a 64.

    Does the material give rise to the immaterial, or vice versa?

    Actually, I see it as the other way around. Yesterday(yesteryear), it may bring a 64. And today, perhaps a 67 due to gradeflation & 'Market acceptable' conditions?
    Here is a photo bump, along with an additional closeup(I should've posted) without the distraction of the toning & luster.
    Sometimes the photos provided are tough to judge, as they're 1-2 dimensional, and you can’t shift the lighting angle.
    Also, eye appeal & toning can skew an opinion to grade higher?..
    .

    .

    .
    @Coinscratch "today would bring a 64."
    Close enough Coinscratch!

    The coin was holdered in Gen 4.4 plastic 15-20 years ago.
    15-20 years ago toning wasn’t as “market Acceptable” as it is today?
    I believe that the coin was undergraded by a point, and perhaps a + as well?…

    Actually @lkenefic is up as he guessed 64 and I said 63+.

    @Rc5280 I see what you mean about yesteryear and agree but I meant like the last few years would've grabbed a higher grade than right now. Up and down

    But then again the eye appeal is outstanding.

    Ooops sorry, I misread and thought that you were responding to @marcmoish when he said 64+
    Thanks @Coinscratch

    @lkenefic I'll guess MS63 for your coin above.

    @pcgsregistrycollector you got it on your second try so I'm not sure how the rules are supposed work, but I don't know if that qualifies as a "win" per se , so I'm just gonna post another coin :D

    But yes, 64+ DCAM CAC with rich original toning, coin is borderline gem but probably wouldn't look out of place in a 65dcam holder. Pop 1/3 at pcgs, this color on proof gold drives me nuts.

    lol idk what the rules are, I just figured it was a good excuse for me to post another coin 😅.

    But this time you win!

    AU55 CAC, CAC pop 2/2 with 61 being the highest with CAC approval. There’s many of these out there in low unc holders that essentially are the dipped version of this coin. This one is the crustiest and most original I have seen, personally.
