The three TPGs often grade differently. ICG has a reputation for being loosest, PCGS has a reputation for letting a lot of problems slide on early US material, and NGC can be a little strict. The whole emphasis of learning to grade is to figure out what you yourself would grade it (although, comparing to the TPGs is very helpful for learning). </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll just say that your photos *appear* to show an AU-58 coin. It looks bright and lustrous, and I don&#039;t see any obvious signs of cleaning (although a lot can hide in a picture). This is exactly the type of coin that may appear in a slab as high as MS-62 or 63, although you&#039;ll hear old timers refer to them as AU-62. There clearly appears to be rub evidenced by broken luster and color change on the high points (curls of hair, breast, shield, and eagle&#039;s head).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if your slabs read anywhere between 55 and 63 - but I like it best at 58.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
