This one was ten bucks below wholesale bid. Was it dipped? Rims look beat up. Thoughts on grade and problems appreciated. TPG grade and price paid in 48. Thanks.

http://www.maddieclashes.com/adc-5c-1862-01/The mad clashes site shows an example of a strong clash for a 1862 Half Dime. Subject coin in this thread shows comparable clashing. Love the E peering from behind LIBERTY and the reverse lettering exhibiting bold clash lines.

Aside from the rims, the coin looks like an MS-63 or 64, BUT the rims are a killer. They might make the coin a candidate for a no grade. There may be even more damage. Unfortunately the NGC prongs can hide problems, and I have seen at least one instance where they did.
You didn't say what grade on the holder, but there is a 100% that "ten bucks below wholesale" was no bargain if the grade is higher than MS-60.

the rim hits are too bad for a straight grade imo. MS63 or 64 as Bill has stated. if it had a dip it was light and would not affect grade.

What a clash! Besides the rim issues, looks like a mark below the "L" in "LIBERTY". MS-62.

Looks like bandsdean hit it on the head. I paid $152 for this one. I think wholesale bid is $160 for MS61. Rims are beat up but I like the coin.
