I literally forgot I owned this coin I’d been so out of coins for the last couple years. I picked it up in 2020. Gtg on this one. Pcgs straight grade. No cheating
She looks to be MS. Technically she could gem, I think. I think this one turns on how the market graders take to the toning.
It looks like PCGS shot it using an axial lighting hybrid to bring out the toning. It really gives it a cameo look, but I would expect the fields to be brighter for it to be a proof. I would guess MS-64. Edited to add, very beautiful coin!! I would certainly be proud to own it.
65 nice coin love the toning.and hammered strike... i do believe that it deserves a better grade but thinking 65 is in the tag .
You guys are on. Yeah a hammered eye appealing business strike. But with the small mintages the dies didn’t get used up. It took awhile to find this too cause I was struggling to remember the grade myself. And it was in a random box of coins on my desk (mostly stuff I need to send to pcgs) not in my safe where it should have been lol. Oh well such is life at my house.
Yeah and mintage 13,600. Though it’s got a good survival rate by early collectors. One of those coins there’s no cheap low end ones but they don’t go stratospheric compared to the rarity.
