Spock.....Harvey and I think Rusty is correct, 65-66

 

who said 65 and who said 66

 

I think the holder says MS-65 But the coin should grade MS-66 .

I'm for 66....Harveys got his money on 65

 

And the grade is?

 

drumroll

 

I'm shocked, SHOCKED that it isn't MS65! Somehow I'll find the strength to go on (looking at gorgeous coins like that helps!).

 

the spock collection was built on these kind of coins. this above coin although a beauty would struggle to make the top 25 of my collection ( i would have said more but i know some of you like the design a lot and i dont want to get flamed )

 

The dude knows how to pick 'em !

Check out that 1913 Indian $10 in spock's signature. In the Great Grade-off Contest, most called that a 65 (some said even better). And that one is in a 64 holder (or was at the time ! ).

I assure you there are lesser $10 Indians in PCGS 65 holders.

 

All I can figure is there are some micro squiggly luster grazes in the reverse fields, so they said "can't be true gem 65" based on that.

But this one has serious luster. That's a real boomer, right there.

 

Interesting.
I was too high.
And I normally undergrade.
I guess the CAC sticker indicates on a good day it would have gone -65.

 

I find it kind of funny how we say don't buy the slab, buy the coin, but if the slab said MS64 and the consensus says the coin is a MS65... you won't find me paying 65 prices....or 64 for that matter. The slab offers comfort that you are (hopefully) getting at least what the slab says.... but I have many slabs that I don't agree with the grade and think they should have graded less.

Congrats Spock... she is a beauty! I was sort of skeptic that she would grade above a 65. If I remember reading somewhere, I don't think PCGS has graded very many over 65 if any at all. Can someone go to PCGS and see how many were graded above 65 and give us those numbers. Thanks.... Plus, Spock...Stop making me hate you.

 

Still one of the best I've seen , Nice I Q .

you werent too high pcgs makes some mistakes and i love them for it

 

Joe , PCGS graded 372 MS-65 with 173 higher .
NGC graded 417 MS-65 with 184 higher .

there are people who will look at coins that are undergraded pay more than the value of the grade and still make a tidy profit. you have to know what you are doing or you will get burnt

you cant hate me joe i am the only friend you got :whistle:

 

That is not, at all, what the CAC sticker indicates. All the sticker indicates is that the CAC agrees with the grade...>Mike

 

p.s. a 64 comes as a bit of a surprise to me. I wonder what problems we're not seeing in the photos.... The fields/luster seem more than clean enough to be a gem. Hmmm....
