Hey everyone!

I'd say MS-64 minimum and possibly as high as MS-66. When they're this good, it's hard for me to figure out what to grade them at. :kewl: There's so much you have to know about the actual coin to get it right.

Awesome Commemorative! :thumb:

Thanks Toad I also see a lot of the breast feather details that I don't usually see on other high graded examples

 

to get the real grade take toads grade and do a +-5


seriously nice coin i am just a wee bit worried about the left portion of the top star can you tell me what that is

 

If you are talking about what looks like wear Spock, then don't worry. It was the angle the photo was shot at

 

I am just curious on what is going around the 37 in the date. Do you see what I am talking about? It begins at the first "L" in dollar and travels north to the tip of the branch, then takes a turn to the right and then turns south again ending in the tip of the "A". What is that?

 

Hmm, I see what you mean. I am looking at other examples, and they also have the '37' out of place, but mine seems to be going are tab bit farther. Are you saying it is a counterfeit or error?

 

Die crack?

 

seems to be an MS-63/64 candidate based on the pictures taken.

 

Look at the top of the A (under the 7 in the date). There's a "line" that goes from the tip of the A up alongside the 7 and curls to the left up under the branch.

I believe that's what Jac was talk'n 'bout?

OH! That? Hmmm, you can barely see it on the coin itself, and it looks like an ordinary scratch or bag mark to me

 

I don't know what it is. Dosen't look like bag marks, but more like a scratch. I can't tell if the metal is raised or indented. If it is raised, could be a die crack. If it is indented, then it can be a scratch. Maybe a strike through? I don't know..... where is GD?

 

Well, from person it is extremely hard to tell whether if it is indented on not, but it is more than likely a scratch.

 

Ryan, also keep in mind that pictures and scans bring out little marks or scratches not noticable by the naked eye. I have even taken pics of my coins and found a mark or scratch that was easily seen in the pic, but I couldn't see it with my 16x loupe.

 

Looks at least 64 from where I sit. Nice coin!
