Does anyone think this could 6?

Currently in an ogh

On a good day, I would go for a bean first and keep it in the OGH
Nice coin

 

appears to be too weak a strike on LIBERTY

But, a possible bean

 

I can tell you in hand the strike appears sharper, but I do agree it is not as sharp as it could have been

 

Lovely!

 

Interesting.
As I just said about another coin in here:

I tend to feel that if a coin is still in an OGH then it's correctly graded.
The ones that were thought to be upgradeable have pretty much already been cracked out and resubmitted.

Note I say that this is a feeling of mine with no hard evidence backing it.

 

They are both mine

 

Mmmm, a Goloid. Lovely.
No idea if it would upgrade, though.

 

I'd leave it be and send it to cac I like the ogh and the current shaded label pcgs are getting a reputation for holding a lot of sub rate coins too

 

No, I like it as a 65. It doesn't have the "flash" and "pop" I'd expect for a 66.

 

Nice coin. I would polish the slab and try for the bean.
Can't see it as a 66 and 50/50 if it will get the bean.

 

Congrats on a great looking piece! Send for "the bean".....

 

Will NCG give a star to a proof coin? If so, a conditional submission might be worth a few shekels.

 

Sure they do. However, this one will not get a star - it shows no cameo contrast, and the eye appeal is only average at best.

 

Impossible to tell from those images...

 

I could see why you would want that PR66 grade--it would be Top Pop and boost the resale value considerably higher, especially since yours has--IMO-nicer toning than most of the other PF65 population.

You might try PCGS Reconsideration where they won't reholder it unless it upgrades by at least a +, *, or point, depending upon what criteria you specify; and if it does, the boost in notoriety would be worth the grading fee; if it doesn't, I would submit it to CAC.

I would also suggest polishing the slab regardless of what you decide to to--just remember to put "Delicate Surface" Painters Tape over the Reverse Label so you don't dissolve the foil.

 

I don't see it getting a 66 with the light strike weaknesses especially because it would make it the top pop coin. If there were many in the grade, perhaps. Lovely Goloid though.

 

Using the above photos I say 65, I'd leave it in the ogh.

 

"DEO EST GLORIA?" (God is glorified?) Obviously this is pattern, but I've never seen this on a US coin before.

Could someone give a little background on this coin?
