You sure this isn't a proof strike? Some of the proofs did have weakness in the head strike.

Well, I guess PCGS would know for sure, right?

Overall appearance resembles an 1856 I have with nearly identical album toning that came back AU50 for unknown reasons

Can't see any wear on this one.

You hit the nail on the head Paralyse. It did indeed come back as a proof strike. I did not think it was when I sent it in. I'd rather it have been a business strike for sure. Only 800 some odd proof were made but this one only came back PR62. Oh well! I did have another one come back a way higher grade than I was expecting so it evens out.

62 is fair! I kind of suspected it was a proof.

Very nice, congrats!

Yeah I'm still really happy with this coin. All in all, it's been a really good experience sending them into PCGS. The first round I sent 11 in two batches and 6 are on their way back now, anxiously awaiting the other 5 because it includes my favorite coin 1870 quarter. Trying to be patient. But they've been sitting in QA for a couple weeks so someone must not agree. The batch that included this one spent about a day and a half in QA before loading grades and shipping.

i would be happy with a PR62 straight grade. I think the coin probably would have graded 63 however the surfaces are quite dull and the toning is not helping with the grade when it comes to eye appeal

nice call paralyse

Here is the TruView pictures for this 1884 PR62. I feel like the TV make them seem so much darker and moodier than they really are.

this is why we dont like grading from TV's. you have no idea what the actual coin likes due to their photo setup. just look at your in-hand photos vs them
