That's a really nice 1959-D.
PCGS being PCGS, I think they would cap it at MS-66RD, but it looks better than that. It's a bourse floor MS-67RD.

I'm thinking MS67+ RD although MS68RD won't surprise me either, anything less than MS67 would. Nice coin Grape!

Alright, you will all get a kick out of this  PCGS graded this MS-64No, that's not a joke. This isn't PCGS TrueView trickery, this is exactly how the coin looks in hand. I was completely and totally floored when I saw this come back as a 64. My only guess is that the graders mistook the thin shallow die scratches as hairlines and dropped the grade. |

WOW that is a travesty, and explains how graders that only spend an average of 2-10 seconds per side per coin, miss things so often. I'd be on the phone to them wanting this to be reviewed.

Travesty is one word! But seriously, this was almost hilariously bad by them. I was half tempted to call and complain, or bust it out and send it back, but it's almost better to have it in this slab just so I can point it out!

Seriously?
I'll gladly take a full roll of those PCGS "64" coins, please. Forget them not being in the ballpark. They aren't even in the time zone.

Seriously? As soon as I saw you and WestCoin comment I had a small giggle fit. I'm used to undergrading from PCGS and overgrading from NGC, but THIS, now this was undergrading to a new level.  |

PCGS tries to make up for undergrading U.S. coins by ridiculously overgrading Canadian coins. I can't tell you how many VF Canadian and Maritime coins I have seen PCGS slab high EF to mid-AU.
