SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 02/23/2020 2:24 pm Yes - but PCGS had the coin in hand, while the armchair athletes here did not. PCGS might be more generous with circulated strikes, but they are pretty strict with mint state grading. Unless you can demonstrate a clear interruption of the cartwheel lustre - it is impossible to assume what ICCS _might_ grade it. The weak elements the others are seeing here, are the result of a weak strike, which BOTH ICCS and PCGS know how to grade with mint state coins.

Coin-Flipper Pillar of the Community Canada 605 Posts	Posted 02/23/2020 4:17 pm SPP-Ottawa consider me sort of like the armchair athlete where I am fairly new on the coin collecting (5/6 years +).... You are right that not having this coin in hand makes it much more difficult to assume what is inside the capsule. I had this coin on my watch list from start to finish.I just dont feel that it was properly graded ( assumed opinion ) and I had my gut feeling telling me this was a slider so I left it at that. I only brought this to you guys attention just to see what the reaction is.... I am glad I followed gut feeling. I think something is missing from the MS63. The edginess is not there, luster is questionable. Not worth the gamble although lucrative for the key date rarity. Report this Post to the Staff

1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 7:48 pm A high AU perhaps, but I don't believe for a second that it is a true MS coin. The seller was the winner on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
