I was a little surprised at the NGC grade ...   |

Weakly struck as is common with these coins, heavily clashed, making the die at end of life. I can't see any real signs of circulation and the luster still looks good, I'd guess MS64, I do worry that little area around 10:00 on the reverse rim will continue to grow, an acetone bath before slabbing may have stopped that. PVC possibly?
A overall nice coin if the strike was stronger, I'd say MS65.

I'll say MS-64, but if the OP was surprised, then this probably isn't right!

My guess is that NGC graded it at MS62. |

strike is weak in some areas which is typical but the columns look decent which is what I look for. I think they graded it MS63 due to broken luster and strike

The grade totally threw me, too. Seems at least MS63 to me.

Seems a bit harsh. Was between a 62/63 myself. Guess the number of small reverse marks were enough to hold it back. Not much of a price difference until MS64.

NGC is just flat wrong on this one I believe. No way that's a MS61 coin, it's too nice.
