I finally finished my Master of Science in Aeronautics Degree and I picked up this little 3CN as a graduation gift to myself and wanted to share with the forum. Care to a guess at the grade according to PCGS? Thank you for your interest and comments.

First off, congratulations earning your Masters.  I'm terrible grading these but I'll guess PCGS gave this a MS-63. |

Congratulation, newly minted master of aeronautics!
Looks like a well struck, clean and problem free ms61 to me. Nice.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Very nice. I'm awful at grading these too, but I'll venture 63/64.

Congratulations. Those file marks on the reverse looked familiar. I have one from the same obv/rev dies. Looks like they are close to the same die state also. 63/64?   |

I guess that this could be one of those 58/62 coins. There is a slight rub on the cheek and the hair above the ear...probably a little more than 3 minutes in circulation though.

Thanks for the update. Were you thinking you wanted a Civil War date? Noticed that you were selling a very pretty 63cac 1881 3cn. Seems like a little bit of a downgrade. What prompted making this switch in your type set?
