    That is a killer 63... I think someone missed the boat on it. Looks higher to me from the image.

    I agree, do NOT send Washingtons to PCGS right now. Those all look like some fine coins!

    Very nice toning on those coins.

    It's tough to tell if it's a 63 or better from the pic, but it has awesome toning.

    I've found that PCGS is tough on toned coins in general. Nice quarters!

    NO, not economy, Regular tier for completing over 90% of my variety set. (87 of 90 coins)

    No rim hit a 3 o'clock/ Here's closeups of the 53-S/ borh sides.

    Let's see if I can snap off some of the other 3.

    Although the 1952-S has some attractive toning, it is fully deserving of its MS63 grade. Considering what I see in the picture, the devices have widespread scratches and imperfections while the right field has multiple light abraisions. There also appears to be a hit on the top in the toning area between the letters "B" and "E".

    Nontheless the coin is fairly attractive for its grade.

    You can see why a 63 from the last pic. Lots of chatter on the face and neck. If that were a Merc. Dime it would be lucky to get a 63 probably a 61 or 62 at best. If you want the PCGS holder to mean something you have to look at the coin from your head not your heart.

    The 52-S is a beautiful coin, but it is a 63. The reverse is a solid 65, but they grade by the worst side. And if you were buying that's the way you would want it.

    Actually, I believe the coins to be very accurately graded! Whoever graded these, in no way "robbed" me.

    The 52-S as a 63 really IS just a mild surprise, given the amount of luster and the overall look about it I had it as a 64 but the distractions (breaks in luster) right IN the focal area is what brought it down to a CH BU ... nontheless a VERY PQ/ very eye pleasing 63.

    The others are all accurately graded as well. The only thing that truly puzzles me is the presence of the spots on both the 55-D and 62-D Obverses. Perhaps some test was run to check for NT/AT or, at worst, maybe someone sweat on them or somehow got droplets of water on them, however, in time they will tone right back to the "even-ness they left here with.

    All in all, pretty much as expected but after seeing some very comparable to these at 2 Major submitters' places of business I must admit I was a tad optimistic that perhaps the overall pluses would outweigh the minuses.

    In no way do I feel robbed or sleighted. I'd say they ALL are graded quite fairly and accurately. image
