I really like this one. Thoughts on grade and problems? Reverse orientation reflects die rotation in relation to obverse. Thanks!

I always thought those hard to grade - I know I have one somewhere in my safe but so small, haven't seen it in a few months! LOL!
Like the toning on the coin - MS63

Plus clashing!  I'm happy with 63, from these images. |

I actually love those 3 cent silver coins - But to pricey for me now in TPG holders but too many counterfeits in raw state. |

Super clash & design transfer, attractive toning, light circulation, AU55-AU58.

Lots of typical clashing. Mint State. I'd be in the 63 range, too.

I saw I liked I acquired Buy the coin, not the holder right? I was able to pay $114 for this because of the TPG designation. I thought the pics were pretty good. Let me know if you spot the cleaning and scratches. Thanks for your help!

I think I also see two scratches at the opening of the crescent. Seems minor, but perhaps they look more prominent in hand. Should have it later this week.

This one came today. Sorry for the blurry pics. The coin is a little darker than the pictures which were taken under a bright light. Reds and blues look much brighter and deeper than the pics.
