Guess the crackout grades. 1925 S California Half

Hey gang!

I thought I'd do something a little different then the normal guess the grade. This coin resides in an old ANACS small holder. I believe this coin is a sure fire upgrade at NGC. So here's the game. I want you to guess what the coin graded originally in the old ANACS holder and what it will grade in a couple of weeks at NGC.

This should be interesting.

I'll say Anacs gave it a 66 and NGC Says 66*

 

64 anacs
65 ngc

 

65,66

 

Old: 64
New: 65

 

I'm with M and G.

 

I'm going to be shipping this guy in in the next day or 2. I will reveal the old ANACS grade when I ship it.

 

Question - with the tpgs and toning I assume you all think it will pass NGC inspection? I don't know anything about these so I am just going to say 65 for both. The splotchy toning distracts me - not that it is bad, just not my cup of tea and it probably looks nicer in hand.

 

id say the small holder is a 64 and you get a 65 or a 65*

I'll go low and high with a 64 ( old ) and a 66 (new)

 

I have had good luck lately with color. I showed this coin to the gentleman who I consider to be my mentor. (His son and nephew both used to work for him and are now both are graders or finalizers for NGC). He thought the color to be acceptable.

 

:thumb:Nice! I am in the MS-65-66 group. I don't think the toning will be an issue.

this was one old Anacs graded MS-62 in the 1st year of there hard case.It was white 20 yr ago but had toned more from HSV to Ngc that grade it a 63

 

Anacs =66, NGC =64 Very nice piece!

 

64, 65

 

Ok guys!

I just got the grade back on this one. The coin originally was in an old ANACS MS64 holder. It is now in an NGC MS66 Holder.

 

You did well - very well!

 

Nice kick upstairs on that one Matt.

 

64/66 LOVE IT. Mine is currently being graded.
