panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 04/16/2026 09:06 am this is an exceptional 83(O). the no mint at this time was putting out softly struck coins for the most part. I would put this one as strike 4 out of 5. when you get fields like this seeing through all the light chatter in the fields is a challenge. I see some very light scuffs on both sides and a couple light scratches in the field to the right of the wing. there is also a fingerprint around TRUST. from what I've seen TPG's do not consider these when grading however it might affect the value of the coin. its fairly light so it should not be a big deal. a few small marks on the cheek and a little scratch at beside the U in UNUM. no doubt in my mind that the coin is DCAM so long as the coin looks like the first set of photos. I'm wondering of the light is washing out the surfaces in the following set. maybe confirm which photos look like the coin in hand as there is quite a discrepancy MS65 DCAM Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 04/16/2026 12:45 pm I'm not 100% convinced of PL surfaces. I'm seeing 3 different looks for the same coin and not sure which one is what the coin in hand looks like. sorry MorganNovice. I do think its probably MS65 Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 04/17/2026 09:28 am new pics are worse. i think at this point you need to just point out which of these photos look like the coin in hand paying particular attention to the fields Report this Post to the Staff
MorganNovice New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 04/18/2026 11:59 am Ha.. I had a feeling that last round of pics was not going to help:-).. I'm going to submit to PSCG. I'll update this when I get it back. Thanks for trying to figure this one out! Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 04/18/2026 1:07 pm unless you have a PCGS subscription your costs will be $69 subscription. $23 grade fee plus ship and ins both ways i think you coin is MS63 maybe an outside chance at 64 but I'm unable to give you a good read on the mirrors. its more likely it would be PL if anything No designation MS63 - $140 MS64 - $200 MS65 - $260 PL MS63 - $180 MS64 - $200 MS65 - $350 DCAM MS63 - $250-300 MS64 - $450-500 MS65 - around $1k you'll have decide if its worth the $$ without a subscription it would be about $100 in fees. looking forward to see how it comes back if you decide to send her in.
