I'm getting ready to submit this to PCGS along with quite a few other nice pieces. For fun I thought I'd let the good folk here give their concensus on what they think based on the pictures it will come back gaded as. enjoy-J
Those are super rare and even rarer with nice wheats. I would guess 63 but a 64 would not surprise me.
That's a very tough coin. And very desirable. I like it! The fingerprint and spot are unfortunate, but I think it has a shot at 63RB. Here's one I bought from Angel Dee's not long ago. I'd swear it was a full red. But PCGS felt 64RB. Huge difference. I might send it in a couple more times. Lance.
I'd say that the fingerprint and the minor scattered spotting limit the coin to MS63 and from the look it'll probably be RB. Not a bad coin for the date though!
If going to PCGS I'll say MS 62RB with a shot at 3 if the print looks better in hand. Sometimes prints show up in photos worse than they are. Nice coin thought and I'm sure anyone here would be proud to have it in the collection. Good luck with the submission !!! Matt
I don't want to be a buzz kill, but I've seen better coins bagged for less. It is possible that the streaks and "water" spots on the reverse will make them color nervous and maybe think it was recolored. The print may have been black at one time and dipped off leaving shiny lines underneath that we are seeing now. They will sniff it out or maybe just bag it out of caution. It is so hard to tell color from a posting here. My computer monitor at home and the one I have at work show coin tones totally different. From what I see from the two photos I'm sticking with a MS62RB grade as it is a MS coin with some problems, JMO Matt
I'm going to go against the grain here and say that coin is not nice looking. I'm in with the whole, "dipped at one time or another" sentiment, and that fingerprint, along with the gash around 3 o'clock on the reverse are distracting. I hope not!
