Typical light D mint strike, but what appears to be booming luster amid some mellowing. I guessed 66. However, after further review,RLM: I...
I guessed 67, but I would not be surprised if NGC gave it a 66. It reminds me of the 57-d examples in 66 recently posted.
That's quite a coin, by the way, RLM. Love that color on copper. Just the slightest of skin that protects the red color. Wonderful coin. I'd...
I think you are going to make a lot of money on that transaction. Superb coins. What did they grade? Just curious...Mike
The elusive PCGS 67rd? Sure looks clean enough. Sure looks lustrous enough. But I'm scared to guess that grade, don't think RLM would buy what...
If you wanted them cracked out, you needed to do it yourself or tell them directly to do it -- their default service is what you got...and (please...

That seem to be a very fair perspective. It is always tough to judge luster from photos, and it seems to me luster is what PCGS really looks...
By way of example, here's a very bad photo of my 64: [img] [img]
62, but 63 would not surprise me. nice type 2
Very nice coin!
I like the two new ones, but of those two, I prefer the 1st.
Not discounting your experience, but wouldn't improper alloy mix lead to the same thing? Even more confusing to me with your explanation is that...
Gorgeous collection!
That's similar to a copper "woodie", i.e. improper alloy mix. I'm surprised that it sold for a premium, because this type of toning typically...
I think now would be a good time to learn how to liquidate coins. Some foreboding predictions: Welcome to the one way market in moderns. We...
