I also think it's perfectly fine to come back to an old thread, especially one about an item that might not be mentioned in any other place, and...
I definitely know. Luckily the color is more important and the difference between a 63 and 64 isn't huge (I consider there to be several...
MS 66 5FS....the five steps are there and it only has some minor marks with relatively clean fields....but if we consider the first coin you...
Surprising indeed...
That's cool that you are the original owner of the slab! And I'm sure it was a good learning experience!
That is an unusual coin to see slabbed, especially in that era. And I don't think it was meant to be a sample slab, right?
Maybe I ran into the one technical grader on staff. :p
MS 67 6fs ....steps are all there and the coin looks remarkably mark-free (as well as lustrous)....it could very well sneak into 68 territory, but...
I think it could sneak into a 66 grade (65 if we are being conservative)
I really don't either. The one coin that I did get the plus on (the 88-O from the prior thread), was nice but this one has better toning. I also...

Reveal time: This was another of my unfavorable results. It started as a 64 and downgraded to a 63. I needed a fifth coin for my sub and this one...
Clean MS 65 (would not be surprised with a 66)
You can take a look at the PCGS guide for a general idea (of graded examples) although some will be high and others low. At least it will tell you...
Reveal at some point this evening.
@jtlee321 @Morgandude11 @KSorbo
Last but not least we have coin five. It used to be a relatively new PCGS holder (without a TrueView) and is now in an even newer PCGS holder....
And for the reveal... this one was a bit of a surprise. It started as a 64 and upgraded to 64+....my first ever plus grade! Being a New Orleans...
Where are all the guessers? Thumbs up for those of you that commented already! :) @Morgandude11 @KSorbo ...I'll let this one go for a while longer
Let's see some more guesses before the reveal. :)
Separate names with a comma.
