Hard to tell from the photo of the obverse, but I'll say AU-50 based what looks like wear on the totem. The 1958 I own has a weakly struck obverse, which is might be the case here too but hard to tell.

Thanks everyone for commenting! My camera setup didn't do this coin justice... Next time I'll get a bigger budget for taking shots.  |

I think I have to change the grade on some of my coins.

Can you tell what year that coin was graded? I'm very skeptical that it would receive that grade today, or even close. It sure looks like wear in her hair just in front of her ear, as well as the totem. Maybe a weak strike and maybe the coin was stored improperly before you got it.

That style of cert was used during the early 1990's......

No way that would ever grade 65 by Canadian Standards .

Hmmm.  I think the general consensus is that PCGS dropped the ball when grading this coin? I don't see any indications of tampering - I'm not sure on the logistics of replacing coins in a PCGS slab. Please let me know if there is any way I can indicate that this coin is genuine. |

Late to the table here. I would have gone with AU58. Yikes.

It could just be a function of pictures and toning. If graded today, the wye appeal may not be there but hard to tell on surfaces, it could haves toned over last 20-30 years.

Seems crazy to me, but the toning makes it difficult to grade from pics.

yea the toning makes it hard to tell but I see no wear. these coins have weak strikes in the bottom face of the totem and in the hair. you can see that coins in ICCS holders have similar flatness in the same areas. and by no way I'm an expert just my opinion from seeing other coins graded the same.

The rims are clean and square, and I have seen blast white coins with more marks on the devices and fields, get that same grade.

Don't worry, the coin is genuine.
Earlier PCGS grading slab.
In the early years they were often way off in their grading.
However, the coin still is a moderate to high grade MS coin.
