Discounting TrueView pics by one point, I'll say MS-63.

64. Not a fan of the milk spotting, but the rest of the coin is great.

So the coin came back as MS62. I though it's a solid 63 with a chance of 64 since in person it has great luster and is very pleasing.

Live and learn but I'll take all the 62's like this one over so many 63's! including many that I own!

i think 62 is a little tough on this one. your in hand photos does show broken luster but the marks/scratches and scuffs are not sufficient imo enough to drop it to that grade. another miss by PCGS...add it to the book we are compiling.

That cheek is mostly scuffs, in fact there's almost no clean spots on her entire face.

Second photo hides the scuffs without a doubt, that trueview shows everything.

P.s. It is accurately graded, nothing missed here.

You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

My first impression was MS-62, too much deep chatter for a 63. I would call it a semi-strong 62 with no chance of upgrade unless the grader was on the first day of a promotion. Or MS-62.68 to be exact.

So @RoLik, when do we get to see the big reveal? Will it be AU or MS? 62 or 64? The Community wants to know!

I thought also a little harsh, but
probably not worth the risk of re submitting to another TPG.
It may come back with the same grade.

@UnimpossibIe

I posted above that the coin came back in a 62 slab. I thought it was a 63 and TrueViews make it seem a whole lot worse than the coin in hand. With no major distracting dings I personally thought it was a strong 63 and possibly a 64. The reverse is very strong.

Thanks @RoLik, sorry, I was looking for a pic and didn't read back far enough obviously. Still a nice looking coin!
