3 Cent Silver. These are always fun to grade.

    Just got this back from PCGS in a good holder. Thought it would be fun to let folks take a guess.

    I always had a hard time grading these. I loved the clash and paid what I thought was a high price of $20 but that was back in 1992. It was just one of those coins I had to have.

    Strike has got to keep it below 65, so I would guess 64

    That's a sweet clash, but I'm a little stumped on the grade because of the weak strike, so I'll guess AU-58.

    Strike, espically by date has me stuck but I'm a AU-53 guy

    I see what I believe are some rubs.
    I'll say AU-55 but a -58 wouldn't surprise me.

    But I REALLY love the die clashing.

    I love the way it looks die clashes and all, but I will pass on grading since I know nothing about these type coins. Very nice.

    I think 58. This coin has a weak strike, so it is confusing, but I am pretty sure that there is some wear on the coin. It is pretty either way:)

    Neat clashing! I'll say AU-55 on the grade.

    Neat little burst of rainbow here and there. I echo the AU55 sentiment.

    I'll post what PCGS gave it tomorrow.
    I called it an AU-50 when I bought it.

    I would never have guessed it. PCGS MS62.
    I don't have an image of the slab but it's serial #28750221.
    Maybe an AU58 on a different day.
    Even at 58 I did ok on this one.

    Surprised they put it at a 62 just because of the strike. They must have loved the color as much as I do! ;)

    Yes. I understand that. Hence the ";)". It is a truly beautiful coin!
