So do you think this indian is worth trying to upgrade?

I've looked at a few of these and I think this is a great 62. BUT, do you think it is worth trying to see if it would go up a grade?

<< <i>In that grade range it could very well end up in an AU holder. I would keep it where it is. >>
That could only happen with a crackout. Any sane person would use the regrade service.
Based on the photos, this one doesn't scream MS63 to me.
I might have guessed 58.
<< <i>It will need luster to get a 63. It looks kind of flat from the picture. >>
finding those currently in AU58 holders, cracking them, and getting them into 62 and 63 holders. Guessing this is a more
recently holdered example, it may already be max'ed out via multiple submissions? Just wild speculation on my part, as I'm
no student of the series. As far as surfaces go, if it were a Morgan or something else and this mark-free, it would be graded higher.

It's the "guy" in us. We aren't going to be bamboozled. So with that said, when the coin is in your hand and meets your standard, Toss out the number on the slab and say " oooooh, I like this coin". And if you like it you know bro… that's what we keep, for real… or only give up when someone else says "Ill pay you THIS much for it ".
And coins are the best hobby to me because of that little known fact…. And we always have "money", with our stupid habit and hobbies this way. … even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else in the whole wide world.
I'm getting a new kitchen this year because I WANT ONE.
And P.S. That song and your dedication to "wife" has always struck my fancy, man…. Just saying.
Additionally I don't believe it has the luster to make MS63. I wish I could see in hand bc I would want take closer look at feathers on reverse for slight wear.
It appears to be a nice average Unc (MS62). I agree with the grade on the holder.
When I picked this piece out for you at an auction I thought that it was as nice as some of the MS-63 graded coins I had seen. The main thing was the luster, as others have mentioned. The satin finish is due to the state of the dies, not any cleaning or circulation. I think that the grading services get too hung up on the luster thing. A piece with bright luster and lots of marks can get a MS-63 while a coin with subdued luster, original surfaces and very few marks gets something lower. I don't agree with that, but the grading services call the tune and we dance to it if we choose.
<< <i>The two and half and five dollar Indian gold coins are among the most difficult coins to grade. What constitutes the flat areas from stacking, which might not qualify as a rub, and what constitutes circulation marks? The graders disagree. One time a coin that looks like a slider can end up in a lower end Mint State holder. The next time it will be graded AU. You can't predict it. The biggest upgrade I ever got on a crack-out was on a $5 Indian that jumped from AU-58 to MS-63!

<< <i>don't tar and feather me but is it just me?? or maybe the lighting?? but based on those pics it almost has the appearance of having spent some time in a bezel?? must be the lighting.......and certainly not my series.
More than likely the lighting. It's hard to photo these in the slab. No bezel marks.

<< <i>Standard grading fees apply whether the coin crosses or not. >>
PCGS may run their previous promotion again at some point where they waive the fees for DNC coins.
I'd probably wait for that with this coin.

I don't believe it is currently being offered, but I have a hunch it might be again at a future date.
Lots of contact marks on the reverse.
