Hi everyone
I've stumbled upon an Accugrade slabbed Morgan dollar.
It seems to be one of the older slabs from the early 80s when they've started and it's often said their grading was ok in the early years.
Funny thing is the grade itself of MS 63.5. never seen that before. has anyone ever seen that?

Cheers

They tried decimal grades for a brief period. Few survive today.

Broadly, the blue labels predate the beige ones.

Looks pretty Accugraded to me.

Some companies experimented with grading obverse and reverse separately in the early days. I think this grade is a result of obverse 63 / reverse 64, although they don't put that on the label. On the older holders some noted their split grades. Fun to find old slabs like this.
