    I'm going to declare winners...

    Dennis - @ddddd - since he (knowing my love of ACG) tagged the slab company correctly. Only ACG used those hard plastic nubs.

    The actual grade is A2-63c.

    @dwhiz was a little too generous; so @micbraun 's 62....

    I wanted to originally say A3-63c, but changed my opinion thinking this would be a case of them grading more conservatively.

    @Burton Strauss III In hand would you say the coin is a high end AU or is it fitting of the MS grade?

    Whoopsie, looking again, @ddddd is right it IS A3-63c, which for those who don't remember ACG grades is:

    (Full Strike)(Cleaned)-63 (c) = commercial grade i.e. market grading​

    This is Florida days, so anything goes. I suspect the best I would get from a real TPC is AU details. But I find it real hard to grade gold - I so frequently mistake bag marks for wear because of the soft metal.
