Hard to find much that detracts from this beautiful coin. Congratulations! A few tiny, isolated spots of verdigris: in the N of UNITED, on the E in ONE, and a faint one centered below the ribbon on the wreath. Quote:
small but obvious ding between the 'T' and 'E' Looks like it may be a small planchet defect or lamination rather than a hit. I agree with PF63 crowd. |

Very nice. I'll go with PF-63+ As I recall, these were previously considered MS and I suspect there are still some in older TPG holders with MS grades. |

I'm all in at PR62 a real beauty of a rare pattern coin that was released into circulation. Very nice.

PF64. I cant see the few minor marks knocking this coin down anymore than that. the scratch between T and E is well positioned and not in a key area to detract that much from the coin. worthy of any collection

This coin is an odd duck. I grade this coin a strong PF64. Under a 10x loupe, I see none of the ticks in the huge blown up pictures of the coin pictured at the top of in this thread, except for what also seems to me, to be a small planchet defect between the T and E in UNITED in the obverse. There is strong luster evident in the coin. This coin is, in my opinion, slightly overgraded at PF65, but this coin has many times traded at auction at around the PF63-64 price. It seems the market grades this coin with its wallet. In general, most try to find undergraded coins in slabs and try to pay the price of the grade in the holder. This is a case where I picked up a slightly overgraded coin at a significant discount to the holdered grade.  |

Tough coin, but I'm not a fan of the curb appeal, grade aside.

That "6" at the end of the date really enhances the curb appeal for me!

Why didn't the TPGrader mention the planchet flaw?  Most intending buyers would certainly like to know at least that it was acknowledged. |

Uncirculated by far. I can't MS it as my understanding of proof state grading is minimal and given the scarcity of 1856 Flying Eagles - realise a coin this stunning must be very rare!
