My english is not the best, but I will try to write an useful answer:
No, the coins were gradet in Munich during an onside grading event. Some cowboys
came from the US and gradet 10000 coins within 8 days. I was not realy suprised by the results. I sent in 8 coins. 3 got 1 grade better than expected, 2 coins got 1 grade lower.
I looked at a lot of photos/videos of incused Indians and after learning that field and luster make the grade they are not so hard to handle. Lots of people in this forum give AU58 grades to coins with shiny fields, because of they confuse a weak strike with rub. The field is the highest point on these coins. Thats why a coin with a good luster in the field can not be affected by mentionable traces of harme on the Indian. All the Au58 pieces have almost no luster in the fields. This $5 Inidian Head 1912 for example is my best coin of the type in terms of luster and low amount of scatches. So I tought it would grade higher than all the other Indians. Maybe I will try it one more time with the next submission. I am very sure that MS63 is a rather conservative grade for this coin.
