Call me stupid but I NEED HELP. All I see is the coin and the insert. What tells everyone it is in an MS-63 slab? Sorry & Thanks.

Dipper,

But the NGC grade on the slab is MS63, which is right in line with what the obviously brilliant posters here think.

MS-63 is certainly an appropriate grade. Some coins, particularly 1921 Peace dollars, are very weakly struck. Per PCGS grading guidelines, this tends to limit the maximum grade to about MS-64 even if the coin is otherwise pristine. Important not to confuse strike weakness with wear. If a coin is booming with luster but looks really flat ("plateau") in the hair and feathers that is almost always strike weakness.
