I've posted this coin on here before (with a group of coins), but I'm looking for independent thoughts on the grade, so please don't look back! This coin had been PCGS graded, and when I sent it in to ICCS, I think they might have just given it the same grade by default. I recently mentioned that I'm selling off my collection to restart, and this is a coin I think I'm going to struggle to part with because I think it's nicer than the holder says. I'm debating if it's worth resubmitting.   |

MS63 maybe 64 in hand
If it's in a 63 holder might go 64,worth a shot.
If it's in a 64 holder don't resubmit.

Depending on what you intend to restart collecting with, you'll struggle to find a nicer one. Judging by the ribbon and the moustache tip, I am wondering if ICCS gave this an AU-55 grade?
Beautiful coin, thanks for sharing.

SPP - It is at least MS60.

Looks 64; has considerable luster and a strong strike. Wonder if ICCS gave it a 62/63...?

Remember... ICCS and PCGS are only giving you an opinion... part of the magic is the eye-appeal, and if you like the coin, why would you consider letting it go?

 That's a beauty,you'd be hard pressed to find one better regardless of grade. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I would say at least MS-64... the grading company probably thought an MS-63 or 62.

I already know the grade since I've talked previously with jg86, but in all honestly, I would have guessed ms63 or ms64.

Thanks guys for the feedback. You are pretty much all within a grade. It's ICCS/PCGS MS63. Bought it in the PCGS holder as a MS63, and I think it's 63 or 64. I contemplated taking it out of the PCGS holder before sending in to ICCS, but I wanted to leave it in, just in case it came back 62 for some reason. I know PCGS and ICCS are offering an opinion, but when trying to sell on the internet, people have little else to go by since they can't see the coin in hand. I also know that I will have trouble finding a nicer one, but that's part of the enjoyment of the hobby - searching for a nice one. I'll see where it goes. I'm tempted to put it on ebay, and say MS63+, but I don't want to mislead either! Thanks again for all the opinions! Edited by jg86
