Wonderful presentation! There are some die polish lines present on both the obverse and reverse but otherwise this specimen is fully prooflike. The BG-960 is presently "unlisted" in the NGC Census (we just got this coin back from that service) so we are assuming this is the ONLY coin graded by this service. PCGS does, however, show 14 certified in all grades, with four (4) as MS65, none finer.
