A newp that just arrived. A very tough series to grade imho!! Here it is, good luck!! I will post the results later today. The holder has light scratches fwiw. It's a MS63!

63.
These are almost impossible to grade from photos. Luster plays a major role in the MS grades, and it just doesn't come out in photos for the Indian $2½s and $5s. My guess would be 63 or 64. It's a pre-prongs holder so likely predates any "plus" designation.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.

63 if the luster is there, 62 if its flat.

I'll say 64. The luster looks really nice.

58, I don't see MS after thinking 62 at first.
IMO, one of the most difficult coins to grade even in hand, with that said I'd give it a MS-62, but purely a guess

I would have suggested 63- nice coin. I think the posting of the coin in the slab may raise some doubt in terms a possible 64.
Am I the only one that is having an issue with the MM? Do we really have a D? The image I see is leaving doubts. And just to be fair I haven’t ruled out maybe the issue is with my screen.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Cac worthy imo.
If you can tell that from the images posted, you’re one of the sharpest graders in the universe.
