My goodness, I don't see any wear to make it AU.  Can't wait to see what NGC thinks. |

Amazing coin. 62-63 is right. Some dings, but no honest wear anywhere! Just about perfection unless you were standing on the end of the coining press in '62

Wow, what a great looking coin out of the holder.  Why would ANACS grade it at AU-58, what would they have missed to not see that is a MS coin.  Glad you resubmitted it and got a MS grade.  |

Dang! Ray Charles has a new job at ANACS! Did not see that one coming. Still a beauty to me! (after reviewing the previous posts) I commented on this one (pre-NGC) and still got suckered into to the ANACS grade. I have always liked NGC slabs, but this one may be the kicker! AU58 price for a MS62 Coin? I was orignally thinking MS63 from the OP. Edited by oih82w8

I agree with MS62. ANACS goofed on this one.

You nearly doubled its value. Great decision!

I wonder why the place you bought it from didn't spot this, too bad for them and good for you. It pays to know your coins if that's the profession you choose! This is what makes coin collecting so fun. Now days I'm not too much into slabbed coins and usually bring a loupe and spend all day in a coin shop searching for varities and buy raw instead but these are stories I like to hear about.

IMHO, dealers can be no less guilty of making this blunder than are collectors. Many dealers simply view coins as commodities to be bought and sold; and in the process, fail to look under the hood. It's from such dealers that astute collectors can make their best buys. This thread is a textbook example of the "buy the coin, not the holder" scenario. It serves to show us that even the top tier TPG's make errors in grading. |

MS62 is a classic "market" grade for sliders. There must be some luster breaks that both ANACS and NGC saw or it would have graded 63 easily and probably 64. In this case (apparently) both ANACS and NGC got it right with NGC "market" grading it into a 62 slab because it is really nice.
