Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/05/2023 11:42 pm I'll say MS63, but that cheek has quite a bit of rub. Wouldn't argue 62 Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 08/06/2023 10:51 am nice peripheral toning. quite a bit of broken luster particularly across the cheek and neck. field scuffs on both side with missing luster. I think there is enough chatter on the cheek along with the luster deficiency to hold it back a tad. the reverse is quite nice. the slightly weak strike is typical for this year so thats not going to affect it much if any. I think it came down to whether the toning and reverse are enough to overcome the cheek chatter and scuffing. I think there is a chance its in an MS64 slab. these kind of coins would give me an ulcer if I was working at a TPG Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/06/2023 2:09 pm That's pretty low grade for that coin. I think the grader was having a rough day.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 08/06/2023 2:31 pm really! this is a 61? not even in the ballpark PCGS. if you bought this one at 61 or less $$ you done good. Edited by panzaldi 08/06/2023 2:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 08/06/2023 3:12 pm There are 7 other MS61 imaged here https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin.../images/7084 Comparing with a lot of their 62s and 63s it all starts to look like a crapshoot. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36741 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 1:18 pm Actually, this one looked like an AU-58 slider to me. That cheek looks like it's got some rubbing on it. Report this Post to the Staff
