NGC MS-63+. Population of one at this level at the grading services with a single piece a point finer (MS-64) at PCGS. Brilliant nearly all white surfaces and free of major marks. A hint of deep blue tone at the peripheries. A circulation issue typically found with considerable wear, the piece offered here is truly an outstanding example."
