grade as MS66.

Please PM me and I will send you your
prize.

 

@mpcusa . Oh man! This was so complicated. I think I did okay, no?

 

You did great you have to remember
grading is highly subjective and open
to inturpitation one person can see things
a different way then you see it the MS 64
isn’t much better a little more luster is
Zanout all.

 

I'll get into the game....here's a coin I wanted to bid on but I had one major issue with it (tell ya later ). Grade might surprise some, maybe not others. Nice looking coin, it is NOT AU so you all should be somewhat close to the actual grade.

 

The 1927 in MS-67 or MS-66+ or MS-66 CAC is quite pricey, it separates from the other "commons" like the 1908 NM and 1924.

 

Lots of luster on that coin but those nasty spots on the front would be a
total turn off for me, but that would
probably not have much affect on the
grade will go MS 66 based on the luster
alone.

 

That one looks very clean (hit free) for a gold coin, so I will guess MS 67.
The spots would bother me on such a high grade coin though.

 

I'm not a big collector of the Saint-Gaudens, in fact, I don't have one. I like to watch and read about them though. I have one question... during my reading about the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, I read several references about a "wire" in the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. Am I seeing things or is there a "wire" in a type of Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle?

 

I would hate to pay for a high grade coin
with problems and that coin has plenty !

 

Wire and Flat-edge types for the MCMVII 1907 High Relief.

It's really a thin fin, a defect, that was ultimately corrected by adjusting the striking pressure and collar.

Wire outnumbers flat by about a 3:1 ratio.

 

I'll post the grade in a few hours later this evening....

 

Now you know what I see

 

First of all. I know less then nothing. I’m going to red book this one. BRB

 

I don’t want a prize. I want a digital flag

 

You’re not making this easy. I guess 55

 

I need it. Hard to red book these babies
