  I would call it AU-details, but market acceptable to be given an EF-45 because those planchet laminations are all-too-common on this issue!

  Looks pretty nice to me, grade limited by planchet flaws. Details grade looks to be 65, it all depends on how you net the planchet flaws. I guess PCGS MS63BR, maybe 62.

  Neat Fugio... I will not venture a grade on it, since I really have no experience with these coins. Definitely a keeper though. Cheers, RickO

  I'd guess they called it a 62 BN. For a Fugio to grade 63 or higher at PCGS, they pretty much demand it to lack significant planchet flaws.
  
  Nice coin though! I'd certainly be happy to have it in my inventory and sell it to a customer.

  I think the color change on the high points of the obv would preclude a mint state grade. Looks like some kind of AU to me.
  
  The flaws, though mint made, will also knock down the grade a notch or two in general.

  Always tough to tell but, even with the planchet flaws, it still looks UNC to me.

  It was graded AU55 by PCGS,
  I saw this Fugio on ebay graded MS61 and thought mine would go a little higher even with the flaws. Still a nice coin, and I happen to like the flaws because of the cheap copper used.
  Thank You all

  I much prefer your coin to the EBay piece, though a weak strike does not preclude an unc grade.
