dizzyfoxx, My pawn shop comment was more so based on the capitol holder as almost every such store I've ever ventured to that had a coin section has their better coins in such holders. Also they are normally covered with multiple stickers with tons of BS written one em to justify the high asking price.

For comparison, and since so many here have guessed EF 45, go look at the 1845 PCGS 45 on ebay right now with a BIN of $1299. If this 1862 has not been messed with, it is at least 50.
I'm going to say that it will come back as Genuine for the record (but I think it has the details of a nice 45, perhaps an AU if I were to see the coin in person).
Still a very tough coin, and I like it!
Find a deserving YN for the prize if I win, please.
It's actually very interesting to me the number of guesses that are "cleaned"/"genuine" holders. If this particular coin were to come back as cleaned or altered surface or in a Genuine holder, I will be absolutely convinced that the vast majority of what we call "original looking crusty" 19th century coins that are in PCGS or NGC holders perhaps should not have been slabbed. I am quite anxious and definitely looking forward to the grading results of this coin.

At PCGS it is way to dark to go AU imho. I have an 1848 that's similar and it's in an XF-40 holder, I'll give yours the XF-45 grade just cause the obverse doesn't appear to have the common flat chest from wear.
As with all the civil war dates, they are extremely difficult to find in XF to low AU! Congrats!

AU-55 or maybe even 58. A very nice coin and tough date. Congrats on ths pickup. I see no problem with it and wouldn't mind haveing it in my collection. Seated dollars are tough to find so nice. Strong strike also.

I really like the looks of the coin and it's a coin that I would purchase ( BTW,very nice images DF :ThumbsUp
Minimum 45, maximum (and i'm an amature) is a 55, but in reality I will throw out a 50.

Hoard the keys.
incredibly hard to get at areas. polished, genuine holder.
but then pcgs is quite liberal in my book and will probably grade it
xf45.
I really like it.

<< <i>40/45, altered surfaces, also only going by the pics, it may be better in hand. Tough date! >>
Im late to this thread, but this is my guess also.
