I purchased this coin graded but I know it's not graded correct . I'm not talking color either . so let's do it guess the grade, and I'll post the link to pcgs's site for images .

Also keep in mind the reverse is known for a weak die . Don't ask questions just look at the pictures from the side I posted .

I'll put this image up highlighted where the weak strike area is

 

I also put this coin in stage C Die State .
I used John's site for the staging .

64 Red

 

Let's see what happens I'll give it to the morning

 

Drum roll please

 

Interesting I wonder what they saw with the surfaces Rick. There must be some light hairlines that are only seen out of the slab.
PCGS would probably gradeflate it and call it a 63 or 64.

 

I really just think that it wasn't graded for the weak die that it's known for . Here's just a image of a regular 72 from Pcgs website .

Look how strong the top of the memorial is struck not like that number five die very weak from the 3rd to the 6th column .
