This coin is nice can't wait to see PCGS thoughts .. this coin will have a story in hand ... Getting room for cleared off for my trophy
I hate to burst yer bubble tp, but you'll be needing some tp, to dry yer tears, when I take home the trophy......
By picture I would say 64, But for some reason I think the toning might be covering something up.Nice coin!
I just hooked up a new bigger Monitor to my portable, this makes things look much different from what they had appeared .. May have to take a back seat and see how this grades out .. Second guessing my thoughts I see a rub on the check, top of Liberty and base of Ear ... going to wait and see
I use CT on my cell phone, the trick, is to make the coin as close to its actual size as possible when examining....
I see a few marks/small scratches which would make me say it's a 65, but I think it is clean enough for pcgs to give it a MS 66 grade.
Personally I think the grade is spot on. An upper end 64 with a clean cheek. But the mark below the chin and in the fields make it a 64 I find the toning nice but not spectacular for the price a decent coin I should be able to move
I'd be interested to see pics when you get it. I'm wondering if the toning looks like it does in the picture, because those blues in the hair and on the cap just didn't look quite right to me. I'm not saying it's AT or anything, but it looks a little funny.
Thanks .. helps me calibrate my thinking on this new monitor .. First thought was a 64 then talked myself out of . Seen the Scratches but the thought they were in minor secondary with slight bag marks in obverse. Still think liked the toning and thought they would look better than photos, but you have seen the coin .. really like good toning myself. After looking at this new monitor was left wondering.
No I haven't actually seen it. These were ha images for $115 I thought there was a bit of resale in it. And the color I like. An album toner not a bag toner
Pretty good price Bill, I had the same date, same grade, same toning (album) paid $100 for it and got $150 out of it.... Conditional rarity date, if u thought it would upgrade to gem, it would be a $600 coin or thereabout..
