Guess the Grade 1936 Wisconsin Commemorative Half Dollar

Not funny! Maybe if you knew how to grade you wouldn't need to spend money on a bogus service!

Well I’ll throw those lyrics out and go back to the writing board....

 

I agree. To me, a CAC sticker is a way for a seller to try to get more money out of me.

 

And the answer is MS 67.
I agree that the toning on the front makes it hard to guess from a photo. In hand, I don’t see any visible marks so the 67 grade looks right to me.

 

Beautiful, bud!!

 

Uh...which is what slabbing is to start with

 

BTW, nice coin

 

'66+.......

 

Dang........late to the dance........

 

Right. I don't buy many slabbed coins. I have a few boxes worth, but I prefer raw. Im already paying a premium on the slab, last thing I want is to pay another premium for a sticker. So, potentially you can take the same coin and get 3 different prices. I want coins, not plastic, and not stickers. I understand perfectly the service CAC provides, and I understand the value of it. I rarely have paid over $150 for a coin, and at that price point, I don't see the added value of a sticker. Im only speaking for my own collection.

 

Better late than never...we saved a few dances just for you

 

64

 

You got ka raz ma

 

Not to knock the coin because I think that it is a wonderful coin, the strike is weak on the important side.

 

Perhaps I should have expanded on my guess.

I felt the toning was not super attractive, and there was potential that it was held back a point, and given a 66 by PCGS. If that were the case, I felt that it had a technical grade of 67, and if it was graded a 66, it would get a bean. I did not see this as a + grade coin because of the toning, so I didn't go that route.

Does that explain my CAC comment?
