Thanks BadThad - this is the 10 digit, long hyphen between the date and mintmark.
"Green Label, ten digit serial number- Very conservative grading, at all grades. These slabs with a PQ designation almost always upgrade a point at PCGS. All PCI slabs seem to be lumped together as far as price goes, so you can find some real steals on these slabs."
Believe this coin will bump to 64 with a shot at 65.
Still on the fence to crack it and send the coin in. Never cracked a slab before.
As all of you know, buy the coin, not the slab. So, so, so true in this case. This is a beautiful coin.
I saw two PCGS MS 65 graded coins two weeks ago at a coin shop. They were nice coins, but not $600 nice...no matter what the slab said.
If I did send this coin in and it bumps two grades, I would probably sell it to put a dent in the purchase of a nice 09 S VBD.
