Quite a few have asked? Lets see who can nail it. GTG Now the search is on for an toned 43 NFL half dime toned to match,and a 43 NFL cent in a woodie.!
The toning, from cheek to bottom rim of crown, appears to be missing, otherwise, the coin is a great example. I'm not sure how this missing luster affects the grade. I think MS65, not considering the luster issue. MS64 if an issue.
I'll vote for 65 at least; details both obverse and reverse are incredible; probably will get a negative mark or two for the scratch on the neck. I'm assuming the "smear" is on the holder and not the coin. Beautiful coin, wish mine were that good.
Maybe this would help.......... 60 = $294 62 = $ 377 63 = $ 748 64= $ 2450 65 = $3920 ^ 66 & up ^ moon money!
Can one of the mods please move to the World coin section. That's where it should of been posted. Thanks in advance
To my eye someone got it wrong! This is the sellers image, I do not have it in hand....but if in hand looks as good as it does in the photos....i may crack it out! Only 104,760 minted in a point or two up grade.its value jumps considerably.
Pretty nice for a 62... not sure if they really graded the coin or if they just added a price tag...?
Got a nutcracker if you need to borrow it. I would definitely go for a higher grade, I think the coin deserves it. Steve
Wow .....and I say this because I believe that 99.9% of those who have viewed this thread believe the same. Now just for kicks go on ebay search an 1943 NFL dime....and see what you find. I found a blast white 1943 NFL dime in an NGC holder.....now again we are comparing images... other photos on a series that most of us dont know first hand. I've been collecting coins for quite a while now....and what I'm seeing doesn't agree with NGC grading. I wont copy the images here they are copyrighted....but its an easy find. And my 1 and only question ..... don't you wish all your coins were like this AU-58 ? WTH?
I am pulling this post up to prove a point... these values are in CAD not U.S.D. What is with the grades on this year as to values? Is it me or do the grades from NGC on this year are being held back from actual grade?
NGC has images in their cert lookup, obverse seems a little more like a 62 in those, in that marks are showing on bust and fields that don't show in images posted here. Guess you'll have to see it in hand.
Actually the slab has hair line scratches right over the obv. Center. Ive taken a image which ill post later. That completely distorts the image . No matter im a happy camper and it can go for another run at a tpg.
