    From a coin show this past weekend. The dealer graded it MS-63.
    Thanks for looking.

    Nice coin hard to say without seeing in hand but I'd say 63 is a bit conservative I'd go 64 and the couple of nicks in the dress the only thing keeping it from a 65 the fields are beautiful

    I just picked up a 1946 D MS66+ (CAC) that is swimming in mint luster. It is so nice, but I don't have any pictures! My photography skills are that of a 3rd grader!

    I'll snap some from my iPhone and pray the luster comes through.

    Here's one of my babies. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393278570.884128.jpg

    Greg and I both think its undergraded for an MS-62

    Appears absolutely undergraded to me. Looks like a decent strike. Very little weak spots. Few contact marks, but not enough I would think that would warrant a 62. Too bad it is in an ANACS holder or I would definitely suggest sending it to CAC.

    Mine are just as bad the only semi decent pics are when I get a friend to do it for me

    I'd crack that baby out and send to pcgs or NGC is a beauty and a 63-64 in my opinion

    Is that a scratch on the reverse in the left field or is that on the holder? If it's on the coin, than it might be a problem if you try to cross it.

    Also, I haven't see a walker with that toning. It's very nice. Beautiful coin.

    I will let you know Wednesday or Thursday. They are the way back from Greg now. I love the coin and personally have seen 63s and 64s that don't quite look that good compared to mine.

    Strike is also nice in my opinion. That left leg (as viewing) has great definition.

    Agree that the strike is strong. Her left hand isn't quite defined, but that's tough to find. Based on the images, it appears to radiate luster. The surfaces look great. Her head is well defined too. It's a real nice WLH.

    I almost want to petition CAC to see if they would consider putting their sticker on ONLY the white ANACS holders. I know they don't want to tarnish their name, but I think it would be another niche for them. People like myself enjoy these obsolete holders and they were accurately graded for the most part. However with them being 10 years old already gradeflation surely has kicked in and plenty of these could still cross despite what folks say if not upgrade.

    At least with a CAC sticker, we could all stop arguing over whether or not the white holders are 'solid' coins. I would hate to break it out for PCGS or NGC because once you crack that ANACS holder, there's no getting it back.
