thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 02:54 am I just got the grade back for this...PCGS PL68. I am on the fence about whether I will send it back for reconsideration because believe it or not, I think this coin is worthy of a PL69.. this piece is literally flawless..an absolute gem. It almost looks like a computer generated image! Feel free to call me Will. Edited by thedollarman 09/04/2021 03:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 06:15 am That is extraordinary! My favourite thing about the old silver dollar is the radiant northern lights above the canoe. They actually look like they're shimmering on this one.... gorgeous. Some coins are beyond grading. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 07:23 am Beautiful coin Will, I don't know how you keep coming up with these. Hard to tell from a picture when you get to the higher grades but I know you are expert enough in grading that if you think It is worthy of a higher grade, then go for it.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 09:20 am I agree: it appears to be an absolute gem but at this grade level, it would be impossible to disagree with PCGS, when looking at on screen pictures. Why do you see the need to have it re submitted? Certainly no need, unless you intend to re sell it, hoping for more money. To my eye, I would be more than happy just to keep it, anyway. There is a possibility, that it may come back at PL-67 if re submitted, but impossible for us to speculate up or down. The pictures need to be of pin sharp museum quality for us to be in a position to disagree with PCGS. You need to photograph it out of the slab to do that. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 12:38 pm Save off the TrueView and zoom in to your heart's content. I see a nick across the bottom of RE that might preclude a higher grade. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/43431463 Pop report https://www.PCGS.com/pop/detail/eli...53-1987/4401 shows 14 in PL68 with none higher. Only 4 graded as PLCAM with 1 graded 68. Your coin is featured first on their coin facts https://www.PCGS.com/valueview/eliz...=32525&h=pop and it's interesting to compare the 68s. I can't tell the different between these and the ones designated CAM, and oddly they all display as MS grades, not PL. What does your slab say? Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5393 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 6:31 pm Will , that is a fantastic piece ! Looks very very similar to the one I found in Chicago at CICF in the 1980s . Came out of a 1956 Set purchased from Glenn Schinke a known US Coin dealer and a personal Friend . I sent in the Dollar to ICCS and to this day it is still the ONLY PL68 graded by them . Sold the coin to a client in BC in the early 1990s for stupid money! As a slightly OT to this , 1956 seems to be the Year that superb PL coins were issued . I for one know you would love to find a 1957 Even close to your gorgeous 1956 ! Report this Post to the Staff
