Grade my 1925 Lexington

I bought this specifically because it came with the original wooden box, and I've always wanted one. I kind of like the toning the box seems to have given the coin.

What would you grade it?

Oh, and in case any of you haven't seen the orginal box these came in, here you go...

I see this as a 64.

 

MS 64

 

Looks like my recent purchase. Box as well with mine. I'll hazard '64 as well.

 

Wow amazing what did you pay?

 

Heck. Ya don't ask a fellow to kiss and tell.........

 

Hehe my bad .


Edit: typo *my*

 

Nah.....you good.

 

Let's just say if it's a 64, I did well. If it hits 63, I paid just a few bucks too much, based on current greysheet.

 

..unless the box adds value (which I think it does).

 

Yeah, but the original packaging makes this a deal breaker/must have.

 

The reverse of mine seems to have (cabinet) box rub on the highpoint (the corner where the belfry walls meet), does yours? I'm wondering if that would hurt it.

 

I don't think so......

 

Here's mine......shoot........gotta resize. Carry on and back in a moment or two.

 

Very beautiful indeed

 

Very pretty @green18 ! Nice luster, and really nice toning. What do you do with the box, now that the coin is slabbed?

 

I rubber band it to the slab.

 

Something about the coin makes me think it is AU (55 or 58). There appears to be some wear. Is there much luster? I have seen these grade 64 and look dull, so I might just be misreading the photos.

The original packaging is cool. It does add to the value.
