I do think it was accurately graded, like I said I compared it to quite a few existing ones and it does seem to be about right, I don't think it would be worth resubmitting for a very small chance of AU50.

Well, grading is subjective. When I get it in hand ill decide what to do.
Again thanks for all the comments.

@farrider11, I hope you don't mind this. I took the new photo of your coin in its slab, rotated it, and clipped the photo of your coin's obverse from that picture. Here's the obverse of your new coin:  For comparison, here is the PCGS Photograde obverse:  Based on the obverse photos, which coin grades higher?

I believe he is simply comparing a PCGS photo grade example to the 1895 here. Incredible coin!

The 1892 looks to be the stronger coin IMO.

If your looking at color, I agree, if your looking at definition of hairlines and such, Id dissagree.
Anyways I compiled the list of the set, and will post pictures tomorrow when I get the coin in question in hand.

On 5 coins, they were just beyond my budget, but did the best I could afford.
Im proud of it, it isn't shabby, and ALL straight graded. I wouldnt budge on that.
Nothing below XF-45

After seeing the coin in question and with all due respect to those that said the coin was fairly graded, I'm sending it in for reconsideration, in my eye it is an AU 50
