I personally wouldn't pay MS64 money on this one. At almost twice the price of a 63 RB, and almost 3x 62 RB I sure wouldn't trust the basement slab it's in. Follow the cliche adage of buy the coin, not the holder. Just my Two Cents.

At $55 I think you're doing pretty darn good.

If I may, I would highly recommend going the route of ANACS over ICG. No membership necessary, their slab will hold a lot more merit, and with recent personal experience I feel they have stepped up their grading accuracy recently. Not sure what ICG's rates and fees are, but they can't be too much cheaper than ANACS. Plus they almost always have a promo going on if you have others to submit.
(And no, I'm not affiliated with ANACS in an way).

That price is reasonable. I have the coin at 62RB, too many spots to grade higher. I'm surprised NNC did not grade this MS66RB!

Anacs would indeed be a better option though.
Rest in Peace

The only reason I'm going with icg is because there is no limit when using the economy service anacs has a 5 coin limit on economy service and ive seen a good amount of icg coins crossover to PCGS or NGC the same grade or higher.

you only need 5% red on each side to grade RB. I had this one at MS63RB possibly 64. value wise I think the eye appeal would hold the value to 63
