This is one of my collections highlights. I am considering a swap from NGC to PCGS.

Want to take a stab at the grade?

Out of my wheelhouse for a grade guess, but the label on the plastic it's in won't change the coin one bit. Maybe crack it out and put it in a flip instead

Edit to add: That's one heck of a coin!

Nice rarity - 63 normally, but because of the rarity I'd say 64.

nice coin. I'm not sure i'd cross her over but thats a personal choice. I'm betting it would come back the same PCGS and NGC are typically not that far off. if NGC gave it 63BN I might consider shooting for a 64RB. the lighting here is a little too much glare to assess the amount of red and there is a fine line between a 5% and 10% red coin. I'm not sure the obv qualifies. based on the photos I have to go with MS64BN. LIBERTY is really cool, I've never seen one

This coin is in an older MS63BN NGC holder.

I think this coin has tremendous upside and is very, very choice for the grade. There are no carbon spots, no big marks. The color has upside as well. It should be a RB coin as there is more than 10% red remaining.

I would be happy if it crosses at MS63, very happy with MS63+, and ecstatic with MS64. I think the color stays brown. If the obverse showed the red color the reverse has, this would have graded RB.

i agree about the red. if the obv looked like rev it would have pulled an RB. at 63BN theres a good chance of 64BN at PCGS. the other choice is to CAC the coin which from what ive seen recently adds more value than a 1 point bump. CAC coins are going for premium $$

under that toning on the obv field you can see fine scratches. there are also some from K12-K1. these probably contributed to the lower grade

A beauty for sure. I like panzaldi's advice of sending it to CAC for stickering rather than to PCGS.
