1941 WLH, MS-62??????

In hand it looks a lot better than a 62. It looked a lot better than a 63 when it was in its original holder. My images are not hiding anything.

The graders were blind in one eye and didn't happen to see too well out of the other eye. That girl's easy MS64.

 

I'm not too good for Walking Liberty Halves, but based on my knowledge of the average look of any MS62 coin, this one is DEFINITELY more than MS62, and just looking at pictures from pcgscoinfacts.com, it looks like MS64 or maybe even M65. It must have been so disappointing when you sent it back for a higher grade and got a lower grade.

 

You sure NGC didn't move to Colorado?

 

Hey man, far out.

 

It looks 1-2 points undergraded depending on how it presents in hand. Often when collectors see a PQ coin with a low grade, there is a faint patch of hairlines that is only visible at certain angles when rotated in hand. Could this be the case with your coin?

 

Remember when people were calling rub on one side of a coin cabinet friction?
The eagles breast looks flattened and not because it was in contact with another coin. Just my impression that NGC saw a chance to correct a coin that should be AU but definitely better than any MS60 or 61?

 

That gal is better than a '62..........role (rowel), roll the dice........sometimes things come up 'snakeheads'.........

 

Pickin and Grinin has a point.. may be one of those "AU 63s"

 

Instead of re-submitting to NGC or PCGS, maybe it's worthy of a Gold CAC.

 

Maybe at 62 it's worthy of a Gold CAC.

 

Snake-eyes.....

 

You'd have a better chance of getting an MS66 than a gold bean.

 

What is even scarier is that 2 graders agreed it’s a 62.

 

How come with all of your bashing of the TPGs about grading and rub and marks andover grading ect that when its this coin you now think a poor strike, with rub, and multiple marks should have upgraded from a 63?

 

Interesting NGC MS-66 I just saw. Far more marks than on my coin.

 

considering that you posted this at 9 o'clock at night, I presume you had a few, in which case, this makes more sense

 

They hadn't had their coffee yet when they graded it.

 

While you have a point about his past complaints about TPG over grading, you can't possibly think this coin is an MS62. Personally, from the photos, it looks to be MS64/MS65 range. It is certainly possible that NGC is net grading the coin for both the dipping and roll friction, but it is just as likely that the coin is under graded.

 

I remember this half dollar. I originally called it a MS-66. The coin looked to have incredible luster and the sun was in shadow. Now that I see it in a different light, I would call it a 64, not because of any rub, but because of the chatter I see now. The sun is a prime focal area and chatter like that will keep the grade down, certainly not to MS-62 levels though. In my opinion based on these images, there is no way this should be a 62.

How was it graded? A large wheel with slots ranging from MS-60 - MS-68 and they simply spun it? Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.. tick.... tick......... tick............ tick, ahhh MS-62 for this one...
