ICCS is known for generally being incredibly conservative, often much moreso than either PCGS or NGC. Let's see if we think they got this one right, or are being their typical
EAC-ish shrewdness for grading compared to what we're used to.
what grade would you assign this one?

Reverse looks unc.
I grade the piece AU58....possibly 55

I bet ICCS had something like EF-45, but I don't know their grading style so I'm completely clueless.

There is too much coin for it to be less than AU. My view is the same as gecko's on this one.

Well, let me say I will send nothing to ICCS, BUT, I would be a strong buyer if that's the way they grade everthing.

Yup. I guess they can't grade using current industry standards. Maybe their strategy is to discourage people from submitting US coins.

yes they are, and are very well respected in general.

I don't think that coin would be an EF40 using any standards ever applied to grading. There's conservative grading and just flat out mis-grading. This is an example of the latter.

If they are so successful, why are the still using flips instead of real slabs? I can not see much repeat business when they grossly undergrade coins such as this one.

They're still in business and thriving. They don't even have a website.
