GTG 1934 Washington

I think I see a little wear so I’m going to say AU55.

He asked for the TPG assigned grade, not for the true grade ;-)

“Whatwas the grade the tpg gave it?”

 

Some of these are weak in the head. That didn't come out right. The hair doesn't always strike up that well. There I got it. Anyway, you're right about that.

 

Then it of course would depend on the TPG.

PCGS - 65
NGC - 64
Ed Wood Grading Service - MS70 w/ an Ed Wood Bean (I can't find the image of the bean, if you can, post it!)

****This is a light-hearted post, and no offense to @Pickin and Grinin and his Washington****

 

Crazy how over the board these guesses are.

 

I'm not surprised, Washington's are notoriously hard to grade in hand...let alone in a photo...with a ton of toning.

 

Yup I went higher then I really think because I'm usually low on these.

 

Agreed, I usually buy Washington's raw, the slab doesn't help either,
this one will probably get cracked out and put in the dansco.

 

Yeah, the strike is a little mushy, but over all a nice looking quarter!
I wish I could have captured the rusty reds that are present through out the obv. it brightens the coin up some.

 

No offense taken, cant find the ed wood bean either.

 

You have to imagine the sound of a fairy wand in action...

 

Yet another numismatic factoid from my west coast friend! Happy TG and Best collecting to all.

 

65, medium motto

 

No one hit the grade it was given, unless you throw an outside chance in the mix. @Beefer518 @CamaroDMD was within a grade,
The high points that you called out in the photo are full of lustre, and have to be an artifact of the photo, there is absolutely no wear on this coin. I see no reason for this coin to be in an AU slab, therefore it might be cracked out for the Dansco.

 

Looking again more closely, I agree with AU-58 as there is a little rub.

I guess I should stop assuming that GTG common high-grade certified modern coins are always MS.

 

I am having a hard time seeing it in hand, the weak strike has me puzzled a little, maybe a crack out would help.

 

ANACS seems to, at times, get AU-58 happy. I'd probably crack it out and send it to either PCGS or NGC.

 

So much for all those that say that ANACS overgrades.

 

I think they do and I honestly believe they have on this coin. Not by a lot. I don’t think pcgs or ngc will give a better grade.

 

I have noticed that they tend to under grade, I have been told that a few dealers here locally are bringing pretty good returns buying anacs and having them sent to the big 2. Right now I am happy where it is.
