I know it's late GTG

Yeah, we all take breaks, I wasn't sure if he was going to start another collection. Or. call it quits. Hope he didn't do that, we all take breaks. I have been slow on reading and posting for a good few months.

In one of those conversations, he did mention picking up some coins. He was focusing on some world crowns.

 

@ddddd
Yeah, changed his focus, I think I remember.
By the way there are a lot of good guess posted.
I might try and get some better close ups before a slab reveal.

 

One more look before the reveal.

One of these days I will show the Vam.
There are some amazing clash marks present.

 

Okay, I'm finally ready.
PF-65

 

Good thing I wasn't waiting around for the reveal. LOL.
Where did everyone go? Hey! Anyone??

 

School night Sal. We all went to bed.

 

Anacs was a little tough on this one.
What looks like hairlines in front of the nose is on the slab.

 

I'm not surprised about it being DMPL, but I am little shocked about the grade. It's a very nice coin. Thanks for sharing.

 

In my very limited experience with ANACS (and Canadian dollars), all the flecks in the fields gets you the 62. All 3 of my dollars got 62 that I thought could make 63.

 

As I was researching this coin. I have seen worse in PCGS slabs. I don't mind the conservative grade.

 

If you hit the coin shops around Denver, I have noticed many more ANACS slabs than PCGS and NGC. I have found many coins lately that seemed correct for the grade. One of these days I may send a few to them. Those specs on the reverse are fairly noticeable, more so under a lens than in hand.

 

I didn't mind the 62s either. My goal was to preserve grandpa's coins without breaking the bank, with no intention of ever flipping them, and I was a lot more comfortable handing them directly to their rep at a local show than shipping them. Pretty much every coin was a point lower than I thought they might get, but I was mostly judging based on coins in the big two TPG slabs. Perhaps down the road it bumps up the perceived value, when people realize how conservative ANACS was during this era.

 

I don’t see wear so I’m guessing Ms63

 

I might of mentioned DM like if I knew what that meant. I was near with a 63. I surprised myself.

 

This looks like a more conservative grade from Anacs as I thought I could be low at 63. As a 62 this is definitely PQ for the grade.

 

Isn't this where CAC just jump out of the woood work and say's any correctly graded coin should Get a Bean.

 

But not ANACS.

 

Late to the game, seems conservatively graded. I had it at 63 PL / DMPL (hard to tell mirror depth from image).

 

Guessed 64, could accept 63, 62 just seems low. Good pickup if you got it for a good price.
