1859 NGC MS67 IH going on the blocks

Going through Heritage's future auction highlights for Sept. Long Beach, I did a double take when this one scrolled by. I confess to being more aware of PCGS' pop #s than NGC's, and I didn't realize an MS67 existed in this date (PCGS has 10 in 66 w/none higher). As a first year issue/one year type coin it's very popular with both IH and type collectors, so you don't see the ultra high grade examples parted with very often. This one has a semi-prooflike look (as well as a slightly rotated reverse).
These are so tough I've only been able to find images of 2 others, both PCGS 66s. The first was a recent purchase shared by a IH collector. The digital color is a bit off but it's a monster coin. The second is an old Snow image of the Epstein coin. They're in that order under the new NGC image: link. All are imaged in completely different formats and I share them more for enjoyment, but feel free to compare.

It does not even have the holy STAR....
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
Bill, I bet it brings more than your 67Penna quarter even in an NGC slab.
Your ranger-like tracking abilities of IH specimens astound me. I know that many specialists track key specimens, and I can track many of the special Seated Dollars that float my way, but what you do is quite difficult for anyone else to match!
I don't pursue IH's these days, but please keep the online educational process going!
