This coin arrived today and I am quite pleased....needless to say, it was not cheap. Care to take a guess at what PCGS graded it?   |

MS64RB. Light is bright and cannot see entirety of surfaces but I see a smattering of small marks to the left of the headband with LIBERTY. Beautiful. Let us know what you paid when you reveal the TPG grade. Congratulations!  I'll guess you paid $2K. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Full 64. I would not be surprised if it got the Full Red designation.

52Raymo, I'm nt an expert on this series. Would you share your opinion for why this is a 63 and not a 64 in your eyes? Thanks in advance.

Just from looking at so many Indians that I personally thought was 64-65 and they would invariably be 63's. A red designation is tough, any darkening at all and its RB. I'm no expert and after I posted I noticed it was RedRaider...he a playah  so it very well could be a 64-65. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

Here is the reveal.....Its in a PCGS MS64RD holder. The variety is not attributed on the holder, but it is the very scarce Shallow N reverse. I have difficulty taking pictures of RD copper, but this coin is a glowing full red color.
PCGS has a pop of 1/0 in that grade right now and I could only find 2 sales of an MS64RD 1872 shallow N. They sold for $12,500 and $18,000 respectively. While I paid a lot for it, its value is considerably more.
Heritage has never offered a full Red 1872 shallow N.
Im going to send it back to PCGS to add the designation to the holder and attempt to get a + on the grade.
