Time for another Guess the Grade™ GRADE REVEALED

[DJCoinz]

What grade would you give it? I'll reveal the TPG's grade later on.

DJ,

 

I'd call it MS-66, and very attractive, I might add. Maybe MS65 if that lower cheek scratch means anything, or if they don't like the coffee-spot on the head of Miss Liberty.

Nice one Daniel MS-65 (thumbs u

[123cents]

Very nice toning. I would guess MS-65.

[dooly]

I will guess at MS-64 PL ?

[ant]

depending on the wear above forhead and ear. i cant realy tell what is what whith all the "toning" im going to say ms63 pl

[errorist]

Where's the wear? I don't see it. Some scrapes make it a MS-64. The second obverse looks different than the first obverse. You get them mixed up?

[ant]

yes i did mix them ! sorry bout that. the top is a 65-66. the bottom looks 63

[Dwaine]

Question: Are they the same coin just taken from differnt angles? The reverse appears to be the same.

[DJCoinz]

Both sets are of the same coin. The second set just has slightly different lighting to show off the mirrors better.

[ant]

ok then my question is on the bottom it looks 63. why does it show wear but the top looks far better?

[ant]

i just cant stop looking. i saw the stuff that looked the same but it has me feeling like my eyes r tricking me.

[cpm9ball]

Dooly already took my guess, so I'll say MS65PL.

MS64 or '65. The stuff on the back looks like old dip residue to me?? Although I am usually wrong.

[James_OldeTowne]

MS-64, but sorry, no "PL". I like the look a lot, however!

[DJCoinz]

ok then my question is on the bottom it looks 63. why does it show wear but the top looks far better?

To tell you the truth, I don't know what you're seeing as it doesn't have any wear.

 

BankNote1: The stuff on the reverse is just part of the toning. Why it toned exactly like that I don't know, but it matches the rest of the coin perfectly and I like it quite a bit.

 

 

IMO it has a very good chance of regrading at the 66PL level. My camera really picks up and magnifies the slightest disturbance...in hand you can see that the "hits" on the cheek actually aren't hits at all, just breaks in the frost (all except the one directly above the neck/jaw line. that is the only actual hit on the cheek). This one will be staying with me and probably going along with my next submission.

[cpm9ball]

I think 65PL serves it well. I think you would be wasting your money trying for 66. That mark just above the jawline should keep it from getting 66.

Here are some more images that show off the mirrors better:

Well I came in late and was going to go with an MS64PL. The bottom set of pics gave more of an in-hand pic of the details.

[GDJMSP]

Does the "toning" on this coin not strike anybody as odd ? Rather than toning, in particular the reverse, it appears to me that the coin was covered with lacquer that has aged and yellowed and has been flaking off.

 

Now I must admit that if that is so that I am surprised that it was slabbed even 20 years ago by the ANA. But perhaps it did not look like that 20 years ago.

Sweet grade! It's tough to determine reflectivity from an image. The last image does reveal more PL character than the earlier ones. Congratulations!

Thanks.

[MikeInFL]

Looks like a nice 65 to me, if a bit on the low-end of a 65 (at least from the pics). Congrats!

Dont break it out of that holder.

[MikeInFL]

Dont break it out of that holder.

 

Why? Grade or toning or

[chinook]

IMHO, it is a liner 65. And I dont think, at least from the pics, that it would PL at PCGS since the date is common with semi PL fields.

 

Toning looks ok to me.

 

 

Also I think these old small Anacs holders could soon carry a premium much like PCGS rattlers do.
