Au 58

 

I would grade it MS-62-63. Ill be home later and look it up in Overton & see if I can supply an attribution. (Im at work) Outstanding Bust, Love the toning. Very nice coin.

AU58 O-107 R3 and it is a beauty. Yours??? Very nice pickup.

 

I am going to guess that it is unc and that what I am seeing on the bust is the result of a weak strike.

MS-63

 

900fine I would grade that P1!!

That stands for Pretty Darn nice one!!
Great pickup.

 

Maybe she's just being modest.

 

Doug knows, he was there when they stuck it, and put it in his pocket......


Doug is so old that ....

oops wrong thread.

 

Mark_h,
Thanks Mark, just got home and Im beat. Thanks for the "O" rating,

Steve

 

Very nice. I'll call it AU-53+. There appears to be considerable wear on her cheek and bust, but the areas are well hidden by the photograph.

 

Yep, that is what I was seeing, along with some wear in the hair.

AU55 for me, but it wouldn't surprise me if a TPG slabbed it at MS62 all day long.

 

Going by the official ana book on grading I see a slight bit of wear on the hair above Liberties eyes, and some on the talons, so I would say it is a 58. That said, A few weeks ago one of my local dealers showed me a slabbed capped bust that was graded a 58, the OPs coin has that one beat every way. So I could see it being graded ms.

 

Nice Coin.. MS63. O-107 is correct.

 

I have to ask to those of you who said MS63, are you just ignoring the wear on the coin, or are you grading solely on what you think a TPG would say?

I'm seeing wear guys, can't just throw wear out the window.

Here is a MS63 for y'all, this coin is much sharper.

I do not believe I am seeing any wear. I think it is all from a weak striking. The fact that the details are not there does not mean they have been worn off - particularly from that era.

 

I agree with physics-fan3.14 that the cheek is worn. And there is wear that I'm seeing above the eye in the hair. I can't bring myself to thinking that those spots are due to weak strike. I can believe that some other spots in the hair might have been contributed by a weak strike though.

 

I'll go with a little rub and 58 it.
But if they so MS I think it would be better then a 3...

 

Is that a mild dig under the 3rd star on the left?
