Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 9:35 pm I got this 17 years ago--it is an old NGC holder. I am wondering what you think it would grade by today's standards at PCGS. As of now the coin is still in the NGC holder, but for the sake of continuity in my collection, I may consider submitting it to PCGS in the distant future, especially if the grade would be higher. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 10:26 pm I agree it looks mid-AU, 53 or 55. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 2:34 pm Wow. Thanks for the grades! I may seriously hesitate to submit this to PCGS. It is currently in an NGC slab as MS(61), and was so when I bought it in 2003. I was wondering if it could score a 62 or a 63. Thanks for your opinions to dissuade me on this one.

Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 3:22 pm Huh, usually the older ones tend to be undergraded Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7614 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 3:55 pm I would let it rest in it's current tomb. Leave well enough alone! Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 6:02 pm MS61 is a market grade for that piece. If it were truly MS it would deserve a higher grade. The reverse (appears) to show clear signs of light circulation. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 6:38 pm Thanks, BH1964--I must confess I have not heard this term before--what do you mean by "market grade?" Does this mean the MS(61) for this particular coin does not truly mean "mint state" and that it would be universally certified as MS(61) because coins that are truly mint state would earn a 62 or higher?

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 9:40 pm This is my subjective opinion only Adam but many coins are "market-graded" into holders where TPG believe their value "should be". MS61 is a classic market grade for nice AU coins that are attractive and close to MS. Yours seems to be just such a piece and could very easily come back from PCGS in an AU55 holder.
