<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1403140, member: 28971&quot;]Well, if just lighting experimentation, and it is an unc coin, it could still have trouble getting a gem grade. Though, even in MS64, it&#039;s tough to get. I&#039;d hold off grading/attributing, due to the fees...for now, until the variety&#039;s popularity becomes more widespread. Still, a lusterous coin, and a nice pick-up for a very tough variety (as far as the date), but those marks on the neck are worrisome to me, grade wise. The major TPG&#039;s are very tough on this variety in gem grade and higher. Took me ALOT of searching to find this date worthy to get into a PCGS 66 holder. Only 5 MS66&#039;s there and 1 NGC MS66 (I have found one that should 66 at PCGS, but if not, the pop in MS66 at NGC will change to 2, as I find they are a bit looser grading these than PCGS...not a kool aid drinker, but I feel more comfortable with these in PCGS holders, due to their being tight grading them). </p><p><br /></p><p>But keep searching....MS65 is a good, as well as elusive, grade for this date. Too bad about that obverse. If you are considering grading it, I&#039;d keep it out of an ICG or ANACS holder....there seems to be no respect for them, as they are known for overgrading by at least 1-2 points (ICG is very famous for this...I&#039;ve got 3 Type B&#039;s in ICG MS67 (not &#039;56&#039;s), and they won&#039;t even cross at PCGS as MS66&#039;s, meaning they are no better than MS65&#039;s, a 2 point drop....ANACS averages over 90% overgrade by 1 point...yes, I have done the math.....as well as pay the &#039;tuition&#039;...this variety, in ANACS and ICG should be treated as raw, IMO).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
