Another guess the grade

Here is the other package I got today. Not a variety. Just a plain 1911-S. What grade would you give it and what grade do you thing PCGS gave it? BTW, I think it is graded conservatively.

man this is a tough coin - the reverse is mighty nice, but the obverse, not as nice. VF-35 is probably the technical grade but PCGS went with an XF.

MS 62, brown.

But--- as I've said before: I wear glasses.

 

Picture isn't the greatest a little foggy but I am going to say MS 63 RB

 

are 1911's known for a weak strike?

 

I know I know but I'm not tellin !!!

 

Man, another nice one! Sweet! :thumb: I'll say MS-62 Brown, nice coin! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Ef-40

 

I'll go with MS61 brown - I can't tell in some places if it is glare or wear. But it looks nice to me.

 

MS61BN Maybe 62 PCGS holder.

 

Ill go with 63

 

Au-55

 

I am going to say Au 58. The obverse is weaker (XF 45), but the reverse is stronger (MS 62).

Au 55

 

Well what is it? im dyin here!

 

I took into mind that as I know it. 1911 was one of those years when there was alot of weak strike. Someone who knows Linocln history better might agree. Im not 100% sure.

Id like to know aswell. Also After looking a little more. Im thinking MS60BN because the Reverse is so strong. It makes me think that its a good example of the reverse die pounding so had the the obverse die is just worn out. lol

WHATS THE GRADE ALREADY???

 

i would guess xf45 brown.

 

Most of the "weak strike" is my pictures. Most of the hairs on the beard are there. It is not as strong a strike as my AU-53, but I definitely would not call it a weak strike. This picture shows the detail a little better, at least I think so.

 

the strike does not appear weak to me at all, look at all the lettering, even the O in One is hit pretty darn good.

I agree with the PCGS grade on this and am a bit suprised at some of the guesses so far actually
