This one also resides in PCGS plastic.

I'll go 62 on that. A few too many hits and whispy lines to make 63.

nice ms 62?

Seems to be a "liner" to me -- flip a coin, strong 62 or weak 63. I'll say this gets a "key date bump" to 63.

That's a very nice 62. I almost said 64 instead of 63

Whoa. I almost said AU58. PCGS usually grades key dates a little more harshly than common dates. Very nice Liberty nickel though!

We thought it was a 63 when we sent it in.

I find the opposite to be true the majority of the time. The only time a "key date" is graded more harshly than a common date is when it's a condition rarity...they're very tough on those.

To answer the OP, I would have said 63. Whatever the grade, it's a nice coin.
