A Lafayette Dollar--Opinions Please

oh thanks for letting me know. Good to know my grading ability is still working, I said 64+

I would call it MS64*.

I think the strike is normal for these, but because it's not suburb you'd need a really clean coin to grade higher than a 64 and this does have some hits. So, I don't see it getting a 65. But, with the toning and the fantastic eye appeal, I could see NGC giving it a star designation.

 

From what I have learned, it actually did grade a MS 65

 

Is this the coin you've been wanting forever? It looks awesome!

 

And you learned that how???

 

If I told you, I would have to runaway from home.

 

I sent him a PM telling him it was MS65. Here is a link the website that has it for sale.

It is on hold for me! Now that you guys know the grade, what would you pay for it. Remember it is a Duvall 3-D variety.

 

OH my, the sellers statements match my sentiments exactly, one of the eye appealing Lafayette's I've come across as well. Again let me say, I envy your potential purchase.

If I had the financial means myself, I would not hesitate to buy this coin. Best of luck, and again Thank you for sharing this with us.

 

I can't really say anything intelligent about the grading but I'd be shocked if it was an MS65. That scare on the portrait would disqualify it, IMO, from any grade over MS64. Obviously, you can see the hits as well as I can and it seems to have some gum on it between the A and the M. Other than that, it looks like it has a lot of original and nice luster.

Wonderful coin. I have an Isabella that would look very nice along side this coin.

 

tsk tsk u still havent found me my coin for melt and u want this one at au prices :hammer:

 

i think my isabella would look better kind of blacka nd white u know

 

any word back yet on this?

 

That coin looks like a 64 or 65 to my eye -- I'd like to buy it in a 64 holder, and sell it in a 65 holder.

 

Wanna bet?

 

My goodness, Now thats a match.

 

$10,750, which is cheap for an MS65 considering it is a Duvall 3-D.

 

How about I acquiesce and then give you my opinion of the coin once I see it in hand.
