A bit optimistic for PF 65. Maybe the photo but seems to have some wear.

Yes, that one had better look improved with in-hand inspection. At times they are puzzlers for sure, and given that there are some superb specimens out there of this date and denomination would be a "hard pass" as they say these days...

That obverse looks absolutely terrible for a proof.

And the price is on the heavy side. Here's my example  CGS 85.

That's extremely ugly, esp for a proof. Horrid toning, weak strike, just bad eye appeal.

Wow, you are harsh. Looks pretty decent to me.

Sorry, I have to agree with @ozjohn and @SilverAge3 - there's wear to the obverse and it just doesn't look like a proof at all.

I was looking at ozjohn's example. Silly me, that ebay one is crappie.
