you called?

I collect the dimes, quarters & half dollars.

Very pretty, and looks undergraded.

 

The reverse is definitely under graded as it's like 65 in hand, I say it should of been a 63,that's why I buy the coin not the slab. A few nice clash marks on the rev. Nice rim toning from being in an album .

 

agreed, nice pick up

 

I really think she's a beauty, and I'd have to say MS64.

 

The toning makes it tough to tell what is underneath and the obv has some small hits that are hard to make out. I am sure in hand the reason for the grade would be more apparent. Just one more reason why when buying from pictures you should be cautious. That said it is a very nice looking coin.

 

I think the hair below liberty is weak strike not wear. I'm not an expert but I'd have to say They are wrong.

 

Shooting this coin is hard as the rim toning is a bright midnight blue in color. The surface has the color of a pinkish brown. This on the obv. Makes it hard to see some devices. The reverse is another story as the center of the coin is only lightly toned. So you can see the surface and devices.
I purchased this for my type set up grade. I'm not concerned over the grade on the slab. As I am sure this specimen is at least a low end MS , and it's eye appeal means more then an number on the slab.

 

ill go 63 nice toning

 

That is a stupid grade

 

You're talking about the PCGS grade on this coin? oh yeah that's why I purchase it. I paid AU money for a at least 63 coin toned again I buy the coin not the slab.

 

of course PCGS, they need stronger glasses than I wear.

 

They can be all over. I sent a nicely toned 92 barber dime to ngc. The coin in my opinion was au 55. It clearly had a touch of wear. They graded it ms 62. I'll take the bonus on it tho au or ms I clearly thought the value in it was more the toning
