[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 25308748, member: 101855"]That is a really nice coin! Usually family heirlooms are beat up and sometimes cleaned. I would say the coin has a decent shot at MS-65, but the services can be very conservative with the Liberty $2.50 coins. I see some tiny marks that might pull it down to MS-64. As for the grading service, I tend to prefer the looks of the PCGS holder. Having said that, my current highest grade type coin is in an NGC MS-67 holder. [ATTACH=full]1616772[/ATTACH] This one is PCGS graded MS-63. Compared with some other TPG pieces I have seen, it looks like an MS-64. [ATTACH=full]1616773[/ATTACH] Rounding out the grades I have, this is an MS-62. The was the piece I had in my type set when I was high school. It was graded over 20 years ago, and I think, a bit conservative now. [ATTACH=full]1616774[/ATTACH] As for the piece of grading, I have not had a coin graded in years. I wish I could help you. I had a few Confederate notes graded. It was expensive and time consuming.[/QUOTE]
