Recent addition to my collection and asking for opinions on grade it received. I thought it would grade higher than it did, but looking for feedback if I should consider a PCGS crossover and upgrade request. Pictures aren’t high res I know, but from an iPad Pro.

There are very few of these known to exist and auction houses have asked for their consideration when and if I consider selling it.

    Should get a bump for saying Excelsior.

    “.. if I should consider a PCGS crossover and upgrade request.”

    As far as I know, you can select an option to cross at a lower minimum grade, but not a higher one.

    To my eye, it's either a nice VG or barely a fine. Would benefit from a crossover, but I don't know that it would upgrade.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

    Very nice coin @Kindred4u :)
    Not my area of expertise though [I'm not an expert in any area of coins] but someone here can surely offer sound advice.
    Thanks for posting it here.

    Looks fine where it is now IMHO.

    I like it as a VG-10. In hand to judge the flatness of the strike and condition of the surface I might get to F-12 MAX!

    I personally would cherish this straight-graded slab. Judging solely from these pictures it appears rather porous.
