Been looking for one of these that checked all of the boxes.
Many to choose from, but held out for the right one for what I was looking for.
Comments and GTG's are welcome.

Very nice. MS-63
Stellar addition for sure! Merry Christmas to you! I haven't bought my Christmas present yet, still searching!

DMPL that might go MS64, but leaning MS63.
Love the coin.

I think it is a MS64
Nice and frosty with subtle rim toning. Aesthetically a 66+ technically a 64+.
I would have waited for that coin too, to add to my collection. Aesthetically pleasing. Congrats. I would think it could 64.
Wow. 64+

That's a dandy! I'd go MS64 on that one.

Clean cheek tells me it's a 65.

The cheek is far from clean...
63+
I’ll go 63 on that one. That is a great strike, see why you held out for that one. I see a lot of 93 CCs with flat strikes over the ear and eagle’s breast lacking feathers, and roller marks. Your coin has none of those. Coulda got a 63+ or even 64 bump for that.

I'll post the grade tonight (EST)
Wow super nice key date coin. Agree great strike on a date known for soft strikes. Appears easily a 63.
MS64 - very nice example of a tough date!

frost is boss - 65 CAC 66 noCAC
Terrific coin. The big question in my mind is how the image captures the real essence of the coin. Based solely on the image, 63 is the likely floor. I think 63+ is the most probable
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Love the frost, luster and light color on that 93-CC, great coin.
I'm between 63 and 64 on this, which means it's probably a 63+
Terrific pickup!

Seems like PCGS is really tough on these key date coins. Just my opinion.
I like the reverse clash.
With that said nice Morgan.
I'd say MS64.

Super coin I think everyone is low on it I would love to own that and that makes it a 65 IMO.
Bump
Will post the grade in an hour or so
Amazing coin! I had a hard time with this one, I will guess 64.
64
Thanks for the guesses. Again, it goes to show how difficult it can be to GTG from pictures alone. Everyone has overgraded this one. Don't get me wrong, it's a strong coin for the grade assigned but in hand it would only be a 63/63+ at best IMO. Nice cartwheel luster, reflective fields, pretty decent strike, but more contact marks than what show in the pics.

@LeeBone: this one fooled everyone! I was way off @ 64, but you raise a good point about the difficulty grading by pics. I’m guessing the hit beneath the chin is more pronounced than the tv shows.

62 CAC
63 non CAC
I somehow still feel right 😜
I could see it as a 63 but the photo looks significantly better than 62. It must be a lot more banged up, in hand, than those photos suggest. Nice Coin, In any event. Congratulations!

Based on the comments I'm not sure a lot of people are seeing the full sized photo. After seeing the grade I can see why they gave it a 62. It is a very nice 62, and of course CAC agrees. I'm a little surprised it's not worth a 62+ though, but that's splitting hairs.
It is a nice coin for sure.
It has a great look because all of the dings are spread out and the coins not battered.
I'm still learning to grade.
This is definetly a lesson in grading. With that being said I have seen 64's that look like this in holders.
I am not trying to contradict anyone.
