I won't say what this graded until later. I want to hear what others have to say first. It has its flaws, but I still think it looks nicer than the grade. Then again, I'm a newbie compared to most, so maybe I haven't got a clue when it comes to grading. Thanks.

MS-62-63? lots of minor chatter, a bad scratch at "In God We Trust" and discoloration on the reverse.
Feel free to call me Will.

PCGS, judging from the holder.

MS-63 max, and assuming DMPL from your title.

Thanks, sel. TypeCoin is correct that it was graded by PCGS...and it's DMPL per the title.

Carbon spots on reverse, numerous contact marks and limited frost on the devices are the detractions. This coin has a lot going for it too though and a MS63DMPL sounds right. A 62 might in order if it's in-hand eye appeal isn't great.

MS-63 I'm feeling. A nice example for the grade, as there isn't anything too distracting, but there is quite a bit of chatter all over which, with the discoloration on the reverse, hold it down. I'd give half a grade wiggle room (up or down) depending on in-hand appearance.

And the big reveal. The consensus (like me) seems to think it deserves better.

I can see a 62 but a 61 does appear too low. Not sure why they hit it that hard unless they hate carbon spots.

I agree, I was at 62 DMPL, but was wrong I guess!
