"Buy the coin, not the holder."
I have seen this type of situation reported far too often.

That coin is AU58, be happy with the grade you got I think it's overgraded.

Agreed , coin is not even new . AU58 is about right . Looks washed out
probably from too many dippy baths .
These O mint usually come with a typical middling strike , but do
have rich satiny creamy lustre .

They are probably pushing the new NFC, and over grading a few here and there, be happy your lucky.

Are you happy or disappointed with the results?
I'd call this one AU-58, just not seeing an uncirculated coin.

Don't take this wrong, but if you were expecting a lower grade, why send it in? Can't justify grading costs based on value, IMO. Just an observation.

First,  PCGS TrueView photos generally (but not always) tend to make coins look a bit better than they look in real life. I don't know if that's marketing-driven or just a normal product of their lighting and equipment. The 1885-O is a common date all the way to MS-66, so PCGS handles a large number of the coins. There are lots of 63s and 64s out there for this date. Blast white and SPL examples are very common. Here, I don't see evidence of circulation, but I do see a weak strike, weaker luster than many 1885-O dollars, and a resulting likely eye appeal deduction from the technical grade. Just based on the photos, it looks it would net low-to-mid UNC (61-62-63). JMHO. |

Your coin is not going to grade higher than MS62 because of the lack of luster. I had it at AU58. I like the coin, but not in a higher MS grade.

Not a coin I would pay MS-62 money for even in a PCGS holder. I've got it at AU-58.

Seems like you're losing money all around submitting this one for grading
