Stumbled on this one today while looking for some other stuff. New I had it just wasn't sure where. Full mint luser not visible on scans. What do you think? Grade? http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0005-4.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0006-4.jpg clembo
There appears to be wear, most notably, right in the middle of the cheek. That, along with subdued luster, is what causes me to agree with those who are in the AU camp for the grade.
It is in a 2X2. I am almost sure that is where the plastic is contacting the coin. Not too good on silver, but I would guess 65.
I'm still waiting to find one from roll searching. I know of at least two people who have found one from roll searching. Must not get jealous though.
I'd say MS61 or MS62. I don't believe the wear is there on the cheek, given the condition of the ribs in the sails on the reverse. Clembo says the luster is there but not showing in the scans. Tough call without the coin in hand though. Check out some NGC and PCGS graded at even 64 or 65 at Heritage.Even some of them appear to have wear on the cheek.
