Yep - thought 66 at first glance. The only thing concerned me was what was going on between TR in trust. Still went with 66 - another beauty of a coin.
Well my system reak down here. 65+2=67 which isn't available. MS66 RED. The only significant issues I can see are strike related with what appears to be worn dies causing less than crisp details. 67 would require better than average strike so I guess I'm glad of the limit. But then again, would you take advice from the 20th best of 22 graders?
Mercifully, I will end this one tomorrow as well as http://www.cointalk.com/t121386/. I suspect these 2 will each be a first in their own right.
Thank you for telling me about this one, I thought I had already participated in all the ones, to date. MS67 gets my vote EDIT: No option for 67, so MS66.
I did not select these to be difficult, but I succeeded better than if I had tried. I have a total of one right vote each amongst both of today's guesses. In this case, nearly everyone guessed too high with only one correct answer. Even Doug guessed too high. I don't think there is enough luster to go 66, but 65 I could easily believe.
I see more luster on this coin than the other brown coin in guess the grade(think it was 38) which was a dirty 65. I think they confused the two coins. This one shows more luster in the teeny tiny picture than the other coin. Ouchie on these two for me, but I'll stick with my grades based on the pictures.
Keep in mind, I'm not guessing what I think the TPG said. I'm saying what I think it should it grade.
64? They way under-graded that coin. The TPG's really do suck grading by luster, there's hardly a hit on that coin.
What a joke... I've mostly based my guesses on what the TPG would assign for a grade and of course, they're a grade or two higher than my standards. I just don't see how this one is only a 64????
