    Here's an educational "Guess the Grade"...well, maybe not educational for your veteran collectors but for newbies like myself it should be a great learning experience. Guess the grade of this Barber slabbed in an NGC holder:

    Note: Consider all details seen on the coin, not the holder.

    Since this is supposed to be educational, I'm going to post my probabilities for each grade.

    AU Details: 5%
    MS Details: 25%
    Proof Details: 25%
    Proof (61-64): 30%
    Proof (65-70): 10%
    AU55: 5%
    AU58: 15%
    MS60: 5%
    MS61: 5%
    MS62: 10%
    MS63: 20%
    MS64: 30%

    So, will go with a MS/PF 64, however the lines on the neck of Liberty may cause this to come back as MS Details (Is there a such thing as Proof Details???)

    Looks like a proof to me. The hairlines probably held it to 63 maybe 64.
    I'll bet the coin has a much better look at an angle with a bit more light.
