This one is going to PCGS this week with 9 other Indian cents.

What do you think it will grade? Interestingly, this coin was struck with the same dies that struck the PR-1 variety (high leaves). All the diagnostics line up exactly with the high leaves PR counterpart.

For a series that is plagued with weak strikes, bad planchets, and worn dies, this one looks pretty nice!

Wow! Looks to have a tremendous amount of luster still present and nary any rub, I'm going with MS64 (only a few light contact areas on the reverse keep this one out of higher territory I think)? I can see an MS65 on a good day!

Wonder if they will call it a Pattern coming from the PT-10 dies?

Absolutely beautiful. Anything less than a 64 would be a crime. I think it might even make 65.

Mid MS range with good luster. The small amount of nickel in the alloy makes for a very attractive coin, with nice color.
I think
MS63 or 4.

Thanks everyone! I'm in agreement with an MS64. I might get a surprise with a +. A very sharp example.

They won't call this a pattern from PT-10 dies as technically it was not a pattern.

I'm at MS64 but a 65 grade is not out of the question on this nice example

This one is also struck from the same dies. While graded MS65+, it is a Proof PF-1 high leaves reverse. I can't take pictures of Proofs easily.

You can see Rick has it as a Proof on the Photoseal info:
