I don't see the coin going MS-65. It's one of those what could have been coins- nice strike- but too many small problems to keep it from gem.

Edited, because I was about to say something dumb.
So, if I submit it, what are my chances it will come back 63?

grading companies can be wildly inconsistent because all grading is subjective. There are odds that it could go down, sure, but I doubt it. It's a strong MS-64 coin. Could it go MS-65? Sure, if you submit it enough times- but where's the value in spending $30-$50 upgrading the coin by one point?
I collect Washington toners, but if I wanted a brilliant white coin- that one would be nice.

Funny thing, I just received (this morning) a 53-S Washington in an ANACS blue holder in MS66. It is not nearly as clean as the 38-s that I posted, and is a very soft strike. It has hits all through the hair. And what I would call "rubs" on the portrait. Hmmph! 66 my arse! Let's see . . . something about the coin not the holder. I bought the holder. I'm an idiot! Anyway, see fer yerself. The ANACS coin below. All those hits in the hair are real. Makes me think I need,to crack out mine, but as someone said, what sense does it make. It is about a $50.00 upgrade if it makes 65.   |

The problem you run into is that there is no universally accepted grading standard. ANACS says MS-66 for a coin and the market treats it as a PCGS MS-65. NGC says MS-66 on a coin and market treats it like a PCGS MS-65+. Both coins could be accurately graded or even undergraded. Furthermore a PCGS MS-66 may in fact not be as desirable as the ANACS or NGC coin. While I like to believe it all comes out in the wash, eventually, it's important not to get caught up on who said what about a particular coin, but instead buy to your own personal aesthetics. You will have more fun and likely build a better collection that you would buying blind based on who said what about a piece.

If "I" were to crossover it to NGC, "I" would leave it in the slab and see what they say. If it comes back at the same or lower they will not crack it.
I would not sent it back to PCGS in their "latest" slab for regrading. It would more than likely come back in the same slab and your fees would be greatly appreciated!
