1916- PCGS slabbed I hope to get this done before I leave, but I will have to short cycle it. I will be gone for about 10 days starting this Saturday - basically without internet connection. NOTE: If you don't vote in the poll, your vote will not be counted
I don't know. The darkening is much more obvious than any displacement of metal. I cannot make out if is is just a darkening or if there is something more to it.
Tough one to grade. Luster appears very nice. Some mellowing of red. Few hits. On the surface I'd say 64 or 65, but the spots likely dropped it down a point or two. I guessed 64.
Nearly mark free, about as solid a strike as you can get even for a 1916- (yes, it is a little off center) and it actually has good luster. It is an old slab and probably did not have the spots/finger prints when slabbed. It may well be red/brown today, but I still think it is a 65.
Another new leader. Anyone else notice how the scores keep creeping up Top 10. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses. ldhair 0.467 16 Leadfoot 0.474 40 ddoomm1 0.483 31 bahabully 0.500 42 Duke Kavanaugh 0.526 40 mark_h 0.590 41 BadThad 0.600 42 swhuck 0.667 35 Anarchos 0.765 18 tmoneyeagles 0.800 16
