while I must say it is a very nice example I'm not convinced of its proof status. King George's beard seems a little flat and lacking detail at the centre point. What I suspect might have happened is that with the rampant over grading going on all over the place the graders are not used to seeing a genuinely near uncirculated example, so when they do they are fooled into thinking it must be a proof. Thoughts?
