I didn't use the blown up images to make my assessment. After looking at them, I could see the coin in either an MS65 or MS66 holder.
Agreed, MS66
In fairness, it was tough to tell if what appears on the cheek is marks or luster grazes. Given the assigned grade, it must be more of the former...
I assumed that line was a die crack. It looks wavy to me which would all but rule out PMD.
Really? For an "O" mint Morgan, I thought the strike looked pretty darned good.
Chris, Do you really think that coin got a gem grade in the early 90's? I was on the fence between MS64/65 and went with MS64 due to the slab...
My first impression was MS64 and it resides in a PCGS generation 4 holder (circa 1990-1995).
Because they tone so beautifully. [IMG]
Wow, that photograph is better than both mine and Brandon's. Brandon Kelley that is! [IMG] [IMG] Having seen that coin in hand, I think...
There is no way that is diffused lighting. In my experience, diffused lighting destroys the luster.
I think you should return the coin and use the $17.50 as a down payment on a pair of jewels because you have lost yours.
You have been claiming that the reason you think all coins showing wear are AU is because you are following the ANA standards. Now you are...
Doug clearly stated in the other thread that the ANA standards DO allow for wear from roll friction in the MS grades. Are you calling him a liar?...
New Photo: [IMG] The coin is super clean. IMO, only the black on the peripheries hold the coin back.
All I did was reiterate what Doug typed, nothing more. We are not discussing value grading. It was never mentioned before the quote of Doug's...
The mintage in 1964 was over a billion so unless you have a premium gem, it isn't ever going to be worth much. Whether you keep it or not should...
Of course I meant US coins. I even referred to it in that post when I stated that Heritage stopped allowing uncertified US coins in their...
Prove what? Doug is the one who said it, not me! Read more: http://www.cointalk.com/t111316-3/#ixzz28B8lKROK In that quote, he credits the...
At the risk of sounding like Doug, I am going to say AU58 based on those photos. There are more than one problem area but the fields above...
If the ANA grading standards say that minor high point wear from roll/cabinet friction does not make a coin a circulated coin, then what you just...
