ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF MY HK-601 PCGS GRADED MS 66.

TOP POP OF BOTH NGC AND PCGS. (1) MS 65 DPL FINEST LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 8/2019 ( I ALSO OWN THIS EXAMPLE). PCGS HAS ONLY GRADED (2) EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE, WITH THIS ONE BEING THE TOP POP FOR THEM.

I GUESS PCGS IS VERY STINGY WITH GIVING PROOFLIKE OR DEEP PROOFLIKE OR PROOF DESIGNATIONS TO MEDALS, AS THIS EXAMPLE IS AS PROOFLIKE AS MY NCG MS 65 DPL EXAMPLE. I REALLY THINK THAT THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD BE GRADED AS A PROOF, AS THERE IS (1) PF 64 ULTRA CAMEO GRADED BY NGC AS WELL. SUPER BLACK/WHITE CONTRAST ON THIS EXAMPLE!
