Should be at least ms65, maybe ms66 due to the toning.
Small picture does hamper the accuracy of my grade estimation.

Ms 66 I say that because I assume it was good enough to be sent in to get graded. Fully lustered though cantell if there's any abrasions on the surface

 Btw are canadian coin grading standards higher than in the US. Meaning if I take a coin which was, say a 65 in PCGS holder could it be graded a 66 by ICCS? |

The grading standards are the same. If you send it in for regrading 3 things can happen. Gets higher grade / gets lower grade / gets same grade. If the coin is worth resubmitting then you take your chances.

Actual grade plus one point for color at PCGS. Either a 64+1 or a 65+1 depending on the condition of the surfaces. Quote:

ICCS uses a 68 point scale, PCGS uses a 70 point scale. This results in MS grade decompression and slight upward drift at the high end of the scale. |

Reveal time! It was graded a PCGS Ms 64. Undergraded maybe? You seem to grade it higher. But it is in an old PCGS holder. Should I take it out and sent to ICCS for a possible upgrade? https://www.PCGS.com/cert/14704490 |

I personally bought my ICCS ms-65 exemple for around 45$, this is a fairly avaible coin in Gem condition. Personally, I don't think it worth the risk to resubmit it to ICCS since the potential + value is too small.
It still a beautifull coin !

Not worth the re-submission cost.  |

The problem with this type of toning is that it can be very good at disguising underlying marks, which PCGS would have seen with the coin in-hand. I see a line from the "A" of Gratia through the "R" of Rex, two lines on the King's neck, lines heading outward to the rim both above and below the nose, and possibly some roughness on the lowest part of the neck. It's impossible to tell if these are toning disturbances or actual marks on the coin from a static photo. It has a solid 65 "look" to it (IMO), but if PCGS knocked it down to a 64 I'm not inclined to doubt their assessment. |

Always hard with MS coins when you can't rotate them in hand, but if you go to the PCGS cert page and look at the big picture the neck and cheek are likely what knocked it down. Beautiful coin though |
