Very nice looking coin. I'm thinking it graded 65 CAM even though I can recognize an argument for a 64.
I really like that idea. I remember mentioning an edge view slab to the new President of PCGS at FUN a couple years ago but nothing came of it....
My response will be delayed. I'm in the middle of a cooking experiment - making my first pub pie.
This issue is notoriously weakly struck and it show on this coin. Wear though is entirely appropriate to the given grade and despite the...
No bean. Nice cameo obverse but I see some discoloration on Liberty's cheek and the reverse scratch means it's not an A or B coin at a grade of 65.
No bean at a grade of XF-40. Too many problem areas, some due to weak striking and some due to uneven wear.

Green Bean
I voted No Bean. At 63, I think it's an honest grade but I don't think the coin is an A or B coin so I don't think it really deserves a + either.

MM looks fine to me. The Reverse A. I quote from the Larry Briggs' book: "Large "O" mintmark without rays running through mintmark; 1.4 mm high...
You earned some nice karma there. In the end, we all know what our mother's would say.
I get a lot more out of my coin club meetings than the occasional raffle win, although those are always nice. Education, fellowship, and we're a...
