Coin Talk 70 grade Coin Contest - no prize just fun

OK - Lets see if we can have some fun. You post an ungraded coin that you think should be a 70 grade if slabbed. We'll try to find a flaw or vote if it is 70 or not 70!

Who wants to post the first coin?

Haha, none of my collection even comes close

 

What ya think?

 

wow - I'm looking at it with the GIMP

Do you have a bigger photo?

Ruben

 

Thats it. Dude, it took me all morning to figure out how to put a red circle around a coin.... now you want me to change the size of a pic..... too much to learn for one day. If you tell me how, I can try. I am heading off to my local coin club now so I will check in later on tonight.

 

OK I need blow ups of the circled areas

 

Is that how large it came out of camera?

Ruben

 

ok

this might work

 

Yes. What you see is the pic as it came out of the camera, then I cropped it to as it is.

 

You have a 7mgpix camera (its likely). You can change the setting and blow it up.

I will give the coin an MS69 because of the tiny mark underneath Liberty's curls.

 

OK, since nobody else is posting pics..... here is another one of my favorites.

 

ok, so nobody else saw the big Ding on the upper part of the rim of the reverse?

stainless

PS; Awesome coin though Joe, I'd only grade it a PF-66

 

I wouldn't even give it a PF-66. Matter of fact, I wouldn't even give it a Proof at all.

 

Which coin?

 

The old granite lady

I think I see a mechanical double on the latin motto...whatever it says.

Ruben

 

On the Jackson - Yeah - I'm so stupid. But I was thinking that might be the plastic.

Ruben

 

the first one. at 12 O clock

 

Yes, at 12 oclock there is a... well, lets call it a defect. Dosen't look like a "ding", but definitely looks like something scraped it. I believe the coin would still grade 69, even with those small marks on it.

Nice catch Lehigh with that tiny whatever it is. Didn't notice that and will have to relook at the coin again in hand.
