Agree, 58 and 62 have always been kind of interchangeable. Been that way for a long time. Has to have lots of bag marks to get an MS60 or MS61....
You are probably correct, sending it in slabbed will get me an MS61 at best, raw probably an MS62 or even MS63. It has a nice warm satiny look to...
The one coin is actually in an AU58 holder, glad you agree it looks MS62...lol You may well be right on the other one. Any kind of PL fields...

Having them cross over my coins to PCGS at the current grade without meeting my "old holder +1 grade" requirement would be acceptable provided the...
Maybe submit a couple Albanian pieces too. I was shocked when this came back AU58 about 25 years ago. Was part of a multi-coin submission, and...

Real/genuine. The challenge will come when silver hits $170 an ounce and you must then decide how attached you are to it.
Many of those Peruvian Sols have overdates and other unusual die characteristics that can only be seen with a loupe. Cool coin indeed.
Here's one at Paradime Coins that has it all! Gold CAC, plus Doily OGH! Might take a while, but I suspect he'll get what he is asking for it...
