Nice Little Score On An 1898 Proof Barber Dime

Snagged this off Ebay earlier in the week. Sellers pics were pretty bad but could see the potential. Think I got it for an excellent price, well below any recent sales of similar grade coins by Heritage and got to earn 8% Ebay bucks on top of it.
Would like to get this into PCGS plastic as well but am not a member, anyone got a submission going in anytime soon that I could piggyback on? To my naked eye there are no hairlines that jump out at me but they must be hidden under the toning for it to only be a 62. Feel like it could go up to 63/64.

Nice coin! I love the blue hues in the toning. Your photography skills are pretty great too!
Thanks, just wish I could capture the color with the flashiness of the reflective fields. Even my best pics don't show the true beauty of it in hand.

I like the color of this piece. What is that line running from Liberty's nose to the rim? Is it on the holder or the coin?

Scratch on the holder.

Nice ability to interpret the bad photos by seller.
Looks like a nice coin.
I like it. Nice coin.
Looks like it is in great condition... could be an upgrade there... are you going to crack it out? Cheers, RickO
