Originally purchased as PCGS MS 64 in May 2014.
To enable it to fit as one of 14 coins in the puzzle box, one coin among two stacks of 7 coins each, it had to nest in the collection as one coin in a stack of six other NGC holdered coins. Preferring NGC holders, appearance wise, this coin was submitted for cross over into an NGC Scratch-Resistant holder in January 2015. My accompanying note to NGC read, "Please, please, please cross over. Really like your holders over PCGS. Bob"
Weeks later, the return-shipped box from NGC arrived, and to add to the unboxing excitement, I hadn't checked online to see if this coin had successfully crossed. Not only had it crossed, it had slightly upgraded to an MS 64+. The Scratch-Resistant holder further enhanced the coin's appearance, and since it is a last coin in its stack in the puzzle box, because of its 1932 date placing it at the bottom of the right-hand stack, when the viewer gets to this coin, it is a wonderful endnote to the entire collection.
The coin was so attractive that I took a chance and submitted it for CAC.
Another success!
This is a very beautiful coin.
The face of the Indian Liberty has character in that the eye exudes perceptive vision, and the dark markings on the face lend to heightened cheekbone prominence. It is almost as though warpaint is in play. On the reverse, the Eagle has benefitted from the dark neck marking, which adds a stern resolve to its appearance, and the overall luster of the reverse side further embellishes this impression.
Coin satisfies the needs of a 1930s decade coin in conjunction with the $10 Indian design and denomination.
Mission Accomplished!
