WOW very nice !! these are not my best area, and I have never seen a Proof , but with out pulling out any references. I will Say MS-66. Great photo by the way but still hard to grade by the size of the photo cant see the cheek or field close enough on the obverse.

Hi Jim M.,
PCGS can be pretty picky about 19th century proofs. They are particularly hard on coins with spots. Unless it's just from the holder, your coin seems to have some tiny whitish spots in front of Ms. Liberty. Although they don't detract from the beauty of this coin, I suspect they might limit the PCGS grade to PR-64 or so.
I happen to have a 1884 3¢ certified at PR-65 by PCGS. Mine is basically spot-free on the obverse but has a little nick on the reverse which is probably grade-limiting. I'll put up some photos when I have a chance.

Hmmm, now that I've photographed my 1884 3¢ I'm seeing spots on this one too! Maybe I underestimated your coin, Jim M. Given that mine is an older green-label PCGS PR-65, I expect yours is probably the same or maybe a point higher. So, how did PCGS see it?   |

You guys are pretty good  . This coin was graded PR65 by PCGS. I always seem to have trouble with spots showing up in my slab pictures. Jim, you're safe...My middle initial is A  . Thanks to everyone for your replies. I will post another coin soon. ~Jim |
