Coinfrog look above my last post where the grade was revealed 90 minutes before you posted this.  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

another reason to not believe trueviews. if those photos were even close to what this coin looks like in hand, no one would put a 63 on this coin. awaiting resub
can you post in hand photos if you didnt send it yet?

I'll post when it gets here next week. Rumor is luster is absolutely booming.

There's got to be something we are not seeing in the Trueview photos for this to be a 63.

The neck is not as pristine as the trueview shows, but that is all I could see in the sellers pics.

I took pictures at a steep angle to really show it in the worst light! Booming luster, bright white coin. I think it as least a 64 and honestly looks like a lot of my 65+'s.   |

using the new photos I would have put this one at MS63. the scratches on the cheek and jaw are deeper than I would want to see on a 64 then add that to the eagle feather hits. the grade is correct.
when possible always post in-hand photos as well or folks will be giving inaccurate assessments. I always drop grades for trueview by 1 as well as color if appropriate. the trueview photos on this one really hid those flaws

Me too the close up photos would make me drop 2 points off it. Way too many hits in the main focal area on Liberty, looks like she was beaten with a chain.

cboyera: Think surface preservation first and foremost. Luster is a distant second. You had the advantage of knowing the grade. PCGS graded it 63 for a reason. If you like the coin when seeing it in hand that is all that matters.

The positive:
'E. Plur' struck up more sharply struck than most coins in this series.
The negative:
The heavy dings on the neck truncation an '2' of the date stand out a bit. I don't know if they will disappoint you.
Nice luster, but those dings hold it back somewhat.
MS-63.
Hypothetically,
If I bought it at an advantageous enough price (including shipping), below MS-63, I would be happy to add it to my collection.
