nice coin where is the green it better not be the blue color i am seeing in win 7 but otherwise it looks a solid to me

 

I would go 65 RB.

 

65-66 RB. The nick on the N (rev) and beard might bring it to a 65 most likely IMHO.

 

I am going a little conservative and say MS64RB but it is still as cool as the other side of the pillow.

 

This is a very nice coin.
The spots and nicks on the Obverse are minor IMHO. The Reverse is the detractor for me. The spot on the Reverse especially on the N on CENT with the nicks on the N in ONE and the T in CENT concern me as those are in a main focal area. There is a place on the Reverse @ 5:30 along the wheat line appearing to have some hairline scratches. If it weren't for the hairlines on the Reverse I think this coin could make a MS-65RB. These hairlines could be on the holder if one is used. If those hairlines are on the coin I think this would keep this coin from the GEM class and make it a MS-64RB.

 

Thanks to all, I purchased a BU roll of these and picked this one as being an average representative.Figured it for 63-64RB. I remember when 20 years ago, one could reasonably purchase BU rolls of 1930s rather easily, even sometimes the late 20s. Now it getting hard to find nice BU rolls of the early 1940s. Thinking maybe a good time to look at the 1950s.

Time and money flies......

It is too well struck/mark free for a 63. It looks like it has oodles of luster, so I gave it a 65. If the luster is down a bit (average), I could see a 64, but no lower.

 

I would would have to say MS63RB because of the two fairly deep hairlines on the obverse, other than that, it's a very nice coin

 

MS-64RB, but a TPG could easily take this down to MS-63RB.

 

I am not comfortable saying anything higher than MS63 RB just because of all the hairlines.

 

I'll go with a 64RB on that, it's a liner 64, could go down a notch as well.
I have been looking at slabbers for a week, closely, and this IMO would 64 on most days. Not a chance at 65 with the O in One.

 

Even though they are light, I think the spots are going to keep it to MS64 RB

 

Thanks Guys and Gals,
I do appreciate you taking the time to look and comment. I did look at it again with higher magnification and there are a lot of die lines, all except for a few seem very small. When I go through the rolls again, I will post the best rather than what I thought was the average coin for the roll. 63RB is just fine for me on this. :thumb:

Ms 63 or maybe 64 on a good day.
Depends how those lines look in person vs photo.
