I'll have the full slab photo later this evening.

Really frosty. I like them like that.

It's hard to know for sure what's on the coin and what's on the slab......

If I'm reading it correctly, I'd say MS65. Possibly MS64+.

The slab looks like it could use a real cleaning.
(It is an OGH)

With these pics, I only see broken luster. How is the luster in hand?

I don't know the series well but I don't care for the strike at all. Otherwise, looks nice.

64

I don't have it yet.
It's on its way to me.

I'll guess its at 64.

braddick

Only because we have company coming over in a few minutes I'll reveal the grade now.

HillbillyCollector

Nice looking coin!
I was kinda in the AU range because of the pics but evidently it has great luster!

Bad pictures. Looks like a weak strike on the reverse, I'd say MS63

BryceM

MS60? Why would anyone bother sending a 1923 MS60 in for a sticker? There’s more money in the slab & sticker than the coin is worth. There’s obviously stuff going on that isn’t shown well in the photos.

I had that one on my watch list since it is an interesting grade with cac green. I'm guessing it will have quite a few hairlines that don't show up in the pics based on other pcgs ms60's I have seen.

Not gold sticker so clearly PCGS got it right the first time even by today's more liberal standards.

I picked up a few flashy pieces in 64 for show retail. Makes nice stack. Is that a 68? Your photo not that clear. Is that a scratch on slab on rt obv on that expensive of a coin?

Good question.

I’m speculating it was a collector who submitted a lot of coins to CAC at once and decided to include this coin for whatever reason. Collectors in the old days didn’t have to pay for coins that didn’t sticker.
