1849 Pi Mexico 4 Reales: A cool upgrade from my latest PCGS Submission

I finally got my Central States world coin submissions back last week and wanted to share one of my favorites. I knew this one would upgrade, and I'm very happy with the result!

ICCS EF40 ---> PCGS MS62

    Not sure I agree with 62 (since I can’t see the luster), but I DEFINITELY don’t agree with 40.

    Why anyone would send a Mexican coin to ICCS is beyond me. They probably don’t see very many, hence the grade.

    Congratulations!

    Great color.

    As for the grade, I've seen this denomination often enough where I can't determine how the TPG's come up with the grade. I assume those grading higher than I think warranted is due to the strike but don't actually know.

    As for the ICCS grade, it's similar to those I have seen in European lot descriptions.
