Guess how PCGS graded my 1957 proof Frankie - GRADE REVEALED

in U.S. Coin Forum
I got my grade from PCGS today on this coin which I broke out of a '57 proof set. I'll reveal the grade a little later tonight, so guess away...

PCGS gave it a PR-67 DCAM, which is what I thought I'd get (although I thought I had a slim shot at 68). I am very happy because as you know a proof 1957 half in DCAM is not an easy coin to make.

    Please explain. I guess I can think of the obvious one, but what are the others?

    Just a quick heads up, this coin is now listed on BST, I'd like to see it go to someone here rather than a stranger on eBay.
