According to ANA standards, strike is included in the grade, But it doesn't disqualify it from a MS grade.
@SuperDave @stldanceartist @Lehigh96 , I figured I'd call one more time. I would really like your input either on the Photo's, and definitely Slec.
When I said MS but lower I was talking about 62 when everyone was saying 63 64 65. Grading standards are too relaxed for me. They should be a little firmer.
I will reveal the grade this afternoon. Although a lot of you have the grade as I see it, It hasn't been fully declared yet.
Here it is, I do not agree with the grade, I don't think NGC, cares much for Woodies, there aren't nearly enough bag marks to warrant a grade less than 63.
Of the two TPG'S NGC in my eyes has always been tougher on nickels . Personally I would pay 64 money for that nickel,yes not much luster...but for the tone and strike I would again buy it in a NY second . Nice coin
@ed wood 654 You are so good at what should be an educational post, I am gonna give you an A+. You nailed it! Some Humble Pie is in Que.
This is the stupidest grade I think I've ever seen in my life. If this coin is MS, there's not one thing keeping it out of MS64. Do you know what their problem is? They see the AU58 wear. They've got the thing smack up against their face. They don't know how to grade. They don't know, when they want to call an AU58 MS, it's MS64.
