ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 9:07 pm Here's a side-by-side of a PCGS-graded MS63 and our coin. There are a surprising number of rim dings on the PCGS-graded coin. The strike quality is better on ours. I think it could be a MS63+... maybe sneak in to a MS64 although when compared to the MS64s on the PCGS site, it is not as good. [when I looked at these side by side I had a few moments of concern because the head sizes/proportions look different-- ours looks wider-- but then I realized I shot the pictures with a macro lens, no tripod, just hovering over the coin, not perfectly perpendicular] Report this Post to the Staff
