To me it is a 64, I like the toning. That deep mark under the eye is unfortunate.

92(P) are typically weakly struck. I think this one is better than you normally see from that standpoint. the photos are not the best as they are a little small and the obv has some shadowing so it makes it difficult to see if the luster is broken. to me it looks that way. based on that I think its a MS63 coin. reverse is a little stronger so it could be close enough to a 64 but breaks in luster is going to hold it back. can only go by what the photos show

Deep mark on the cheek holds this to a 63. Graded as a 62 would not surprise me. That is the prime focal area.

ICG graded this one an MS-62. Don't have it in hand yet but based on the photos I thought it was a 64. It was priced near wholesale for a 62 so unless it's an AU-58 slider in hand I think I got a good deal.

Got the coin in hand today. Pretty much as expected. Good cartwheel luster and no nasty surprises.

You did good. I'm still at MS-63 on this one.

using the new photo I think there is too much luster gone from the coin. I would call it MS62 and a good call from ICG which is not common

I think it's a 63 minimum.

Sure looks better than a 62 to me.

I think if I submitted it raw to NGC or PCGS it would get a 63. Crossover might be tough because it's an uncommon date and I think the ICG holder would, much as they say it wouldn't, bias the opinion somewhat.

I would say MS64. Do we have an ICG grade on this one?
