[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1140946, member: 19423"]I wish I could have gotten it for MS63 money ;) But I actually paid closer to MS65 money. I was ok paying that level for the coin because that's what I think the coin is really graded, regardless of the label and the owner knew that. The only marks on the coin are a few small ticks on the largest bridge support on the reverse and there is a very light mark/scratch on the right front leg of the bear, other than that the coin is pretty clean. And the spot that appears on the lower obverse rim isn't even on the coin, it's on inside of the plastic holder. The coin has a great strike too. Can even read the time on the clock tower on the reverse :) Also, the label itself is highly collectible as PCGS only used this "doily" label design for a very short time and not many are left in the marketplace. I've seen common MS64 Morgan Dollars that are really worth maybe $75 or so sell for $300+ just because they were in these "doily" holders. So, I will definitely never send it in for regrade because the coin is worth more money as a PCGS MS63 Doily than it would be as a new PCGS MS65. Thanks for all of the nice comments :)[/QUOTE]
