One right and one wrong , thought I nailed both of these , but that 67 threw most of us for a loop . Hope I dropped at least one bad score .
Wow! 67 never crossed my mind . I sure thought that scratch on Abes cheek would have limited it to a 66 . Sure is crazy how the pics make it looks...
But there are exceptions , like the GSA Morgans , some are Blast white or close to it . Though I admit I like a nicely toned coin better than a...
No "S" , listen to no_cents , a coin wears pretty evenly . Think of it , why would a small area like the MM , that's in a protected area wear...

I know what you mean , Usually I have a feeling what it will grade , but not on this one yet . I'm thinking '63 . I also wish those who picked...

I'd give it a 67 , but I think PCGS will hold it back .
66 with PCGS .
I hope that scratch doesn't bring it down to a 65 , I don't think it will , 66 .
Congrats Thad . Dang , I can't believe I missed these , Plus I lost 2 guesses . How about a make up test , teach ?
That is cool , good idea for a thread Matt . Are you going to send her in or leave her the way she is ?
Techniquely you're right , but superior eye appeal does help . But I should have left that out of my explanation for reasons you just stated . I...
Best way to know is to know what a real one looks like . Also mushiness in the details , pitting or bumps , toolmarks , bad reeding . Like...
I like the reason given for the item not selling . " The item is no longer up for bid because it was lost or broken . ;)
That toning sure looks dark , looks almost artificial . Must be market acceptable though .
