I’m in at MS63. Perhaps the TPG gave it a bump to 64 for the toning? Nice coin no matter what the TPG put on the label.
64. It is a very pretty coin. Only the date prevents it from being MS 65. 1881cc are carefully graded as they are a better date CC.
MS 64 was my first impression (although I debated 65); I think PCGS was more conservative given some contact marks and the better date.
Agreed. A higher end 65 with a bean and eye appeal or a lower end 66 with multiple retry’s of grading. I like it as is. Especially as I bought it for greysheet bid in 2018
