It is certified. I won't say by which TPG for now.

    Are those your photos Don? Does it look like that in hand? Or is it something about the pic thru the holder?

    Lots of little white specks, touch of rub on the cheek, maybe a big old thumb on the reverse?

    Probably got a 62 or 63 RB from a TPG in spite of that.

    63 RB (or possibly RD if the darkness on the reverse is due to the lighting rather than toning).

    I do not see a full red. Mostlikely 63RB

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I'm with CP, could go 63 red if the color is what it seems to be but probably RB. These obverse cheek issues are interesting as sometimes the "rub" is actually just a contact toning spot, and at least in my experience, there is a spectrum of color/luster/metal change in that location (as an example as there are other high point locations as well obviuos ly).

    Coin is graded MS63 RED by ACG *gasp* It's in an older holder I believe. It isn't red by today's standards but still 90% red. I'm going to try to cross it to PCGS at any grade. It is uncirculated.
