This is a tough one! Let's see who agrees with PCGS and who really disagrees!   |

Wow - that is a fabulous looking coin. Is it yours?
I say MS63BN which makes this a high value coin.

My first impression was MS as well. MS62BN and nice die clash..  |

Outstanding specimen. Alas, I do see just a couple of tiny wear spots on the very highest points, the most pronounced of which is this one:  Maybe the TPGs forgive such slight transgressions. But if they don't, AU-58. Edited by pristine2

pristine2. I see what you see but if that was from circulation I would expect to see something on the highest point of the cheek and I cant see anything there. thats the reason I went with MS vs AU

It could still be a striking issue as you suggest, but I would need convincing. The undeniable fact that I am avariciously jealous at the sight of this astoundingly beautiful coin may well be affecting my judgment. Edited by pristine2

Apparently no one is concerned with the reverse rims ... and maybe there is no cause to be but what caused these two areas?
Bottom line - it's a beauty.

No significant wear that I see. The reverse rims should get a pass. MS-62BN and very beautiful (and expensive!).
Wish it were mine....

Fantastic Die Clashes. I bet the gave it something like MS62 because its a rare, high value coin, and giving it an AU58 was unbecoming of the situation. I think it saw wee lil' bit tad of circulation though.

Nothing better than a combination of high caliber historic American Numismatic examples and the education that comes with learning the intricacies of a series from members of the CCF
AU55 IMHO
