Although 32 have been graded it is suspected that some coins have been graded more than once. The reason for this is 11 coins have been graded PR64 and only 2 higher (PR65 and PR66). Should a coin be regraded into PR65 the value would double. However I belive that photos are taken of the very high graded coins and then identified when regraded.
