MS62?

Wow what a beautiful coin. You must have an amazing collection. You come up with one beauty after another.

Absolutely superb coin! This is the Type II version and is the toughest version to find in MS and the toughest version by far fo find with outstanding eye appeal. A completely original coin that is well struck with only minor weakness at the tops of the letters, perhaps some weakness on the upper-third of the inner shield and also possibly some on the stars directly opposite the date. It may sound like a lot is missing on this coin, however, the truth is that this is a nice piece. Similar to many others of this type, the toning is a deep blue scheme with some red or purple highlights and looks to be in the vein of toning from velvet storage. Extremely minor spotting on the reverse might have kept the coin down one MS grade, but it is trivial to suggest that this is a problem. There are what appear to be minor hits on the numeral on the reverse and really nothing to note on the obverse. Given that trimes toned this deeply are often hurt by the third party graders, I will say that the coin is 1-2 points undergraded at MS63, in the holder.

I'd say MS65! MS66 if it has luster and the toning is lightly accenting the peripherals.

Michael,

 

I know nothing of trimes, but that one seems nice and original, and very solid condition, though there might be just a bit of weakness in the strike on the upper left portion of the shield. I would say this is probably graded MS-65 or MS-66, but what do I know?

[MarkFeld]

Michael, am I allowed to "guess"?

[MikeKing]

Michael, I am going to say that this is a lovely coin, and I believe this to be a PROOF silver three cent piece grading at least a PF 66. I would not call that spotting on the coin, in the sense of erosion spots. Rather, I believe this is just the pattern that the patination took when forming on the surface of this coin.

It's hard to be completely objective because I know the grade. I will try to put that aside for a moment, however.

 

But, before I get started, I will repeat my usual comment that "no one, no matter how expert a grader, can consistently grade accurately from images".

 

Now for the coin - the first thing I notice is the gorgeous color, which is quite unusual for a Type ll Silver Three Cent Piece.This is the type of color that many coins get an extra bump in grade for.

 

The strike is also noticeably above average - the peripheral areas and even parts of the centers are often quite weak on these.

 

The luster looks to be excellent / full.

 

As far as surface quality and imperfections, the only things I see are the very minor reverse "spotting" and a tick or two, here and there, as TomB already mentioned.

 

So, I'm thinking that the grade must fall within the MS64 (in case the imperfections look worse in person than in the images or in case there are hairlines on the coin which are not apparent in the images) to MS67 (in case the imperfections are unfairly magnified by the images) range.

 

I'll throw out the MS64 and the MS67 possibilities and, of the two choices that remain, go with an MS66, as it looks better / nicer than just about any MS65 that I've seen.

[dakra]

MS64? I'd bet it's higher due to the color.

thanks everyone all great correct replies just from a scan is amazing wow

 

tomb and mark feld have hit on some really important points

 

since i have been able to examine this coin sight seen it is easy for me as the sight seen coin in hand is much better than any scan and can be seen better but the scan is all we gots and hard to photo coins espeically toned coins to see them accurately from a scan

 

the coin is fully struck and even though the date is flat it is fully struck as the date clashed with the top of the reverse statrs hence the slight flatness impressed in the dies but this is one of the best most fully struck i have ever seen of a type two business strike trime

 

the lustre is amazing just like the lsutre on a blast white 1881 s morgan in gem the lustre comes thruogh the toning monster and the reverse toning is MONSTERE THE obverse is

 

superb the coin does have ever so slight tick or two on the reverse in the numeral III but the obverse is almost mark free

 

overall i call this coin superb gem

the color amazing

the strike amazing

the overall look/ eye appeal amazing

 

pcgs graded this coin

 

pcgs ms65

 

but that is okie as it is NOT maxed out in its holder

 

and i am sure in the right hands has room for growth
