My guess before I saw the grade was MS64, with great luster.
Seems to me that you should hold your criticisms for NGC, the tpg company who certified these stinkers. I sent Great Collections some coins to...
MS63 Brown.
Glad to hear it. When I started the column back in the late 70s, I thought I could come up with 6 months worth. The most recent one I wrote was...

In another thread I mentioned what I thought about low-ball collections. That is, once you've put together the absolute worst set possible of...
