    I'd say at least MS-65 with a possible DMPL, but grading very well preserved items to the exact point is not really possible. My guess would be MS-66, but not MS-67.

    Here is my MS62 PL 1882CC....Does the coin warrant 4 higher grades?

  • It's in a NGC holder, grade by those who have seen it in hand has been determined. Excellent eye appeal whatever the grade.

    Since it's in an NGC holder, I'll guess 66PL.

    With a cheek like that, I would say at least 66pl, but wouldn't be surprised at all with a 67pl.

    At least 65 PL, and possibly 66 PF.

    I don't think that you would get four more points, but from that photo I'd say one more point should be easy, and perhaps two. Maybe the coin has a slight rub that you can't see in the photo which accounts for the MS-62 grade.

    The discoloration on and above the ear concerns me. AU58PL? I'm not even sure that's a real grade. image

    When in doubt, don't.

    Mirrors aren't deep enough for DMPL. I'd say MS66PL.

    Looks like the MS-62 PL has high point friction over the face (and probably in the left field as well). This can be a little tricky to spot and the coin will look a grade or two better if it has this high point friction and no other marks. Usually 62 is the limit with these types of coins that were technically "super sliders" in the old days, but generally grade MS-61/62 now.

    My first thought was MS65, but it could go MS66 on a good day. Just a little chatter in the fields.

    More like five more. I might have to up my grade guess to 67....

    The photo of the original coin is between one and one 1/2 stops overexposed, so I can't comment re the coin's grade from the image.

    66 at either service.

    I think NGC could have pushed it as high as 67. Doesn't look any different than my 81-s in NGC MS67. My guess would still be 66 PL though.
    I think TDN has it right at 66+.

    I'm thinking this one is an easy 66+ on a resubmit, but I'm just going to crack it out and place it in a nice Capital holder for now because I don't really care for those NGC prong holders.

    IMO at PCGS this is a 65PL.
