Well I just bought this one and its a 2 point Improvement of my "Old One" It also looks t be a rather early die state where the rim break is almost not present
On Thursday I should have it in hand and I will shoot the reverse. My plan based on the coin photos are to send it to PCGS conservation service and have the tone ring removed and then have the coin regraded. But that will depend on how the coin looks in hand. Any way it go's its the only MS-63 with no MS-62 coins known and only 2 MS-61's. The POP shows 4 MS-61 coins, but I have a MS-61 tag and I know for a fact that one of the others is really a VAM-20a that mis-attributed.
OK its here and yes I can see this coin grading 63+ or so after conservation, but its graded the way PCGS currently grades things. That's to say current standards are as tight as 2 coats of paint. Keep in mind "What looks black in the images really is not even close to what it looks like in hand, its a translucent gray/black and you can see thought it.
