Why double guess the grade? Well I found out this same coin was graded by both NGC and PCGS. So please guess what each grading company gave the coin. Photos below are a PCGS TrueView and a GC GreatPhoto.
I'm not one to ask. But it looks 63 to me, but one TPG might have given it a 64 for it's beautiful toning. You know what would happen with my luck? MS details, questionable color.
And the reveal....it was an NGC MS 62 and became a PCGS MS 64. I'm ok with the 64 grade while the 62 seem a tad low; maybe one can split the difference and say 63 wouldn't be unreasonable. I was not the one who sent it in either time. Interestingly enough it sold for more in the NGC 62 holder than the PCGS 64 holder (although there was an in between sale in that same PCGS 64 holder that was higher than the NGC 62 sale).
Have you seen the coin in hand? With a 62 On the NGC slab, it draws red flags, the coin is most likely AU.
I think it's color is fine. ANACS sent me back a 1884 O, MS60, questionable color. (it's grade is much higher, details grade all MS are capped at 60) I will eventually resubmit to PCGS. (after cracking out)
