Tradedollarnut Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 The only coin that really surprised me is the NGC graded 1909 Saint. It looks much cleaner than a 62 - is there rub in the fields that doesn't show on the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 I looked at it when I got it with a 10x loupe, and you got me, no rub, a little weakness in the strike, but it looked every bit a 63 to me (not quite a 64). I just bought it on eBay at a good price for that particular coin, and am happy to add it to my set. I always find it amusing that everyone focuses on the overdate, but the straight 09 is just about as scarce, especially nicer examples like this one.

swhuck Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Holy $%^*%#%*^!!!! I just entered the contest on a lark, and I don't claim to be much of a grader. Obviously the gut feeling method works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
