6. NGC graded MS-63. A lovely example with full reflective prooflike
surfaces, deeper on the reverse. Both the obverse and reverse show light
handling marks, and this piece is quickly identifiable by a tiny tick mark
below the B of LIBERTY. Minor adjustment marks are noted on the upper left
rim of the reverse. Overall, a choice example that would enhance even the
most advanced collection. The NGC and PCGS Population Reports show a
combined total of 37 graded this high, with only 8 graded higher, all as
MS-64 for the date. Color Photo."
