Here's a recent purchase of mine. Nothing special.

What do you think ICCS graded it? (It was hard to get pictures without a glare, that's why they are so dark)

They are pretty erratic these days. I could see any them calling the coin any of the following:

AU - Looks like a touch of table friction on the high spots of the hair.

MS-60 - Ignore the friction, call it mint state, mark down for the carbon and PVC.

MS-62 - ICCS is so erratic, I could even see them calling it 62RB.

Judging from the photos, which is never a good way to grade, it looks MS-60 to me.

Yeah, it's just the picture.

There is a carbon spot there, so it looks strange (In the picture).

ICCS had the unfair advantage of seeing the coin in hand...
