<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1809807, member: 36230&quot;]No, it&#039;s not. While not a rarity per se, in this grade especially, it is far from a generic $5 lib; IIRC, the total number certified by both TPGs is only around 100+ each. Even with it&#039;s larger branch mintage (late 1850&#039;s), these were marketplace coins used in day to day commerce, so it is not as if there are great number of higher circ grades readily available. Pre-civil war S mints to do not the love that Charlotte and Dahlonega do even though, depending on the date, mintage can be similar. It is also in PCGS plastic, which is a plus (and no, I don&#039;t drink the kool-aid).</p><p><br /></p><p>As for upgrading, no... and it should be understood that upgrading is not always a good thing. It looks like an okay specimen, fairly graded, but nothing spectacular. Regardless, if it is between this and (or so I assume) a generic $10 Indian, ask yourself if you would rather have an under appreciated coin from a period of historical significance, or something you can get anytime and anywhere just because it has more gold?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
