Looks like it might make 63. Nice eye appeal and I don't see the need to apply Verdi-Care. I'd leave it alone.

Nice MS-62. I don't think the small spot will "details" it.

That's a nice one! The TPGs are tough on FEs. It looks MS-63 to me, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised with a TPG calling the softness on the breast light wear and coming in at AU-58. It sure has nice eye appeal. I agree with @Coinfrog, a little Verdi-care would knock out the reverse spot.

So where do you get Verdi-Care? I have read the articles that it is not available.

I believe CCF's own @BadThad invented Verdi-care. Demand far exceeds supply, so it has been hard to come by for several years. Most suppliers have it on back order.

Half of a 2 oz used bottle of Verdi-care just sold for $41.65 shipped on ebay. That's wild!

Bringing back another old thread. You vs. PCGS on this one. This one again shows my lack of photography skills in earlier pictures.

Both coins are very nice but, #1 gave me a huge "WOW"! I would be way out of my comfort zone in my grading but, PCGS has some very interesting comparisons at MS-66. Hmmmmm

I actually liked your 2nd set of pics better than the PCGS trueview pics.
Going by those I'd say MS-63 RB.

This one came back MS-62. I was pleased with this grade, though I have seen many 63s not as nice as this one.

I'd agree with 62, but it's quite solid in the grade. I think it would bean at a 62.

i would have definitely hit this coin with verdicare prior to slabbing. thats a moot point now.

i think luvmycam had it at MS61 in previous comments. I'm going with that grade as well. I still wish it was verdicared first.
still a nice eagle cent
