Well, I think we are all in agreement that this coin is WAY overgraded.

For a cool $12,500 this coin could be yours!

MS66+......unbelievable job NGC!

The thing that aggravates me the most about this.....

I submit coins that are way nicer and get crummy grades back (if they say the color isn't questionable). Proves to me why I won't trust NGC anymore. They should buy this coin back and put it in a 62-63 holder where it belongs.

I was also in the 63 range, and the color does look very questionable. There are technically only a few larger " distracting" marks, but there is so much friction rub on the high points. In combination with a weak strike, it's obvious this is over graded. This will never sell at 66+ prices ( although never say never).

Maybe it got that grade because the Longacre L is so sharp and prominent . I agree this coin is over graded .

If CAC had a black sticker for overgraded coins this one would be a candidate. Is this the Top Pop at NGC with none finer?

A black bean would never stay on any slab were it ever made. I agree as well it is overgraded as I don't like luster breaks on higher grade coins.
