Sell that slab as quickly as you can! However, if you are going to be honest, at least say something about those contact marks.

For example: "Some small contact marks on the reverse."

A professional coin dealer with a reputation to protect would at least do that.

Wow. The grader must've been in a really good mood when he graded that one. Maybe leaving for vacation the next day?

I think the PCGS grader must have had a good night before with his missus!

Remember the coin is graded for many things, one being the Year of the coin, I did think the coin would be graded a solid 63, chatter and all, and are also in shock about the grade. I see the wear from the dies, and am thinking about what people say on this site, that they would trust a PCGS slab unseen over other TPG'S, I do NOT trust anyone grading my coins, I do not need people to give me "their opinions" about my coins.

It does show that the grading "Game" is a very subjective topic, I will trust my eyes and keep my money, putting it towards more coins, instead of sending them to another person who charges me to grade coins, why would I do that...... I am foremost a collector, not a seller ......:) JMO.......
