It depends on the luster, which is hard to discern. But with few marks of significance, I'd say 65 from what we see here.
Thanks for posting...I've talked to Mike a couple times, but haven't heard anything else about the rest of the group.
Mike has good taste. Always a good source for better circ material like what you bought.
Let me guess... if you bought it in Annapolis, you bought it from Richard Nanson, Mike Olson, or me. I was doing that show every time back then.
Unc details with a plus;)
65 BN for me.
I rummaged through the Heritage archive for a bit. A lot of F-15 and a few VF-20 examples had a similar look on the obverse, but much more wheat...
I'm hardly seeing any wheat lines at all, which is what I was questioning. I agree that all the obverse diagnostics are there.
There is an auction in PA ( a very good one, BTW) that intends to carry on next week. But they have added some new groundrules: AUCTION...
I see it as Die Pair #2 also: no "D". All the obverse diagnostics fit. But it's more than a bit surprising that the reverse isn't stronger....
From those shots, I see it as a 66. Very few marks and a full strike.
Not a bad day when you're rummaging through things you've had for a while, and you discover an R-6!
I'm at 35 also. Could possibly go 40 due to strike irregularities that tend to appear as wear. Nice coin.
My first thought was 65, due to the luster. But then I enlarged the photos, and saw the scruffiness on the cheek. Probably a 63 based on that,...
Interesting. I can't remember seeing a diecrack on a Proof before. Very nice coin.
PCGS graders are aware of the populations, and their impact. They aren't going to upgrade your coin unless it's an absolute no-brainer. If I...
A nice, original, problem-free piece. Better than a shiny, messed-up coin with less wear, I think...
That's a winner...
VF-30, details (scratch)
If those pictures accurately represent the coin, it is definitely recolored.
