66+

 

I really like it as MS65 but 66 is not that much of a stretch.. What's the name of that B&M shop?

 

Ummmm... I think it's called FindYourOwn or something like that.. LOL

 

Kidding. It's called Liberty Coin and Currency. They actually have 3 locations in the Portland/Vancouver area. My favorite is the one here in Vancouver. They seem to get the best stuff in.

 

Wish they were in the other coast Portland

 

If its an old NGC slab I'll say slab says 65 but I definitely think it's a super high end 65+ or 66 today. Beauty

 

That has some serious eye appeal. I'll go 66.

 

I would say a solid 64 or maybe 63 on a bad day. Now, if the grader has sleep apnea and Tim Horton espresso machine breaks down, then 62 is also a possibility.

Im about 99% sure that im right

 

Well, you certainly know me. I so love finding undergraded coins in older slabs. This one is graded MS64 by PCGS. It's in the holder that replaced the Doily, a gen. 2.1. I think the little bit of rim toning made some people think NGC, or maybe is it because I buy so many old NGC holders? LOL. I actually look at all coins and not just the holders. I just happen to like the coins in the old NGC holders most of the time. I have to like the coin to buy it though.

 

@jtlee321 Nice coin, under graded for sure.

 

It is absolutely under graded. Nice cherry pick!

 

I did think NGC due to the rim toning!
Nice coin-regardless of holder!

 

By the way, Ed wanted me to pass along that he took a look on his computer and it’s definitely a 64 that could be 65 in a new holder.

 

Tell Ed I said thank you..

I'll give this 1883 the EW Bean!! I think he should put out a Gold EW Bean.

I figure he can guess after the reveal, I can give my own coins the bean. LOL

 

I think this one could get a gold bean from that other company too but the EW bean is worth more here on CT.(laughs that is)

 

Well, I'm slightly late to the party, but I was going to guess a soft 65. There are a few marks on the obverse that will limit the grade (ain't no way that's a 66, even today). I feel like, taking gradeflation into account, that 64 was an accurate grade at the time, and 65 is an accurate grade for our time. If you were to sell that at auction, this is exactly the type of coin that would sell for 65 money even if it says 64.

However, for history's sake, leave it in the old slab. It's more interesting that way.

 

I’m actually working on a gold EW bean...it’s a top secret project though so I can’t say much more.
