<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bikergeek, post: 24656906, member: 112428&quot;][USER=105571]@Publius2[/USER] when you hinted that this one might be controversial I thought, aha, this might be a case of NGC overgrading a pedigree coin - something that I think they did with, say, the McCloskey set last year. So I guessed that they&#039;d have given this one a 55 for the luster (when I feel it is more deserving of a 53 due to the surfaces).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your direction was &quot;guess the grade,&quot; not &quot;grade the coin.&quot; But I didn&#039;t vote cuz I knew I was going to cheat... with the attribution (easy enough to spot at LM-13; it suggested LM-12, -13, or -14 due to the filled lower loop of the 8) I searched HA and found your coin. The 53 didn&#039;t surprise, but I&#039;ll be honest, the CAC bean did. CAC usually likes &#039;em with a little funk, and this one&#039;s awfully white.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, same images - but <a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/bust-half-dimes/1832-h10c-v-6-lm-13-r3-au53-ngc-cac-brilliant-and-partially-lustrous-surfaces-give-this-coin-frosted-eye-appeal-stru/a/63177-45060.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/bust-half-dimes/1832-h10c-v-6-lm-13-r3-au53-ngc-cac-brilliant-and-partially-lustrous-surfaces-give-this-coin-frosted-eye-appeal-stru/a/63177-45060.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515" rel="nofollow">pulling them up on HA </a>allows you to zoom in and out a bit better, if anyone is into that kind of thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
