  Thanks for the comments, everyone! It's a PCGS MS63. I had no idea it used to belong to SpaceMonkey. That provenance ranks right up there with the best of them! I'm happy to know it was in good hands.

  Mr. MidLife Sir,
  
  If you need provenance on the coin. Send it back in and have it reholdered as part of the MidLife Crisis Collection. What more provenance do you want or need? By the way I like the looks of that one.
  
  Ron
  
  

  Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.
