BODY BAG FOR RIM NICK
I just sent this in to PCGS for grading on Monday. I got one free submission for completing my registry set and this was it. The coin is raw but was in an old ANACS No Problem holder before I cracked it out. What do you think PCGS will say?
Note, the bright band across the obverse pic is from light reflecting off the old ANACS plastic.
ps. When I find out what PCGS says I'll actually tell you people lol

Wrong.
I'll go MS62

I see it as one of those 58/64 situations.
Depends on the mood of the grader, how the drive into work was, did he get any last night, hungover, someone burned the popcorn in the microwave etc.
Grade - hmm ... Well I do not see any friction in your pictures as it is displayed on my monitor, so I'll go with the optimistic MS grade.
I say 64Obv, 62Rev.
Eye appeal Gem.
PCGS Grade 63.
Did you think she may have seen some soap and water long ago.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Good call

I think it more likely that it got an expert dipping at some point. A dipping done well enough to not negatively affect the luster.

Boy it's a gorgeous coin.
Could it be because the coin would probably grade AU-58 at PCGS, but would likely grade MS-63 at NGC? The groupies for the respective TPGs have no doubt been preconditioned to their favorite service's grading standards.
Incidentally, was that coin photographed in a slab, and are we seeing reflective glare from the plastic, particularly on the obverse?

Yup, it's glare from the ANACS plastic. Your point about my above post is kinda what I was trying to say...without actually saying it.
So much for the free grading LOL. They didn't even take the TrueView photos that I paid money for.

Nah, she's better in the buff
A little quick math.
PCGS
10%- Bag
33%- AU
36%- 62-63
NGC
16%- Bag
16%- AU
36%- 62-63

Interesting tally. Perhaps this result disproves the theory, as expressed in an earlier post, that "[t]he groupies for the respective TPGs have no doubt been preconditioned to their favorite service's grading standards." I voted 62 both here and across the street.
The coin itself is only as large as my little fingernail and even on blown up pictures the nick near the 9 doesn't look bad and is likely not visable without a loupe. That is harsh and not what I would have expected. Look at some of the crap that gets slabbed and something like your coin gets bagged.
If it was me I'd do presidential review. If it still bagged then I'd quit submitting.

Funny that this one made it right into a clean slab with NO mention of this brutal cleaning visible to the naked eye from the next room.

True-View Photo for your enjoyment (the photo was taken when the coin was RAW)
The coin has since changed hands and now resides in a PCGS MS-61 holder. No rim nick. Never was anything worth BB'ing the coin for in the first place, IMO.

I wonder why some graders even bother showing up for work in the morning
It's really too bad that David Hall's income isn't dependent on his graders getting it right the first time
