MS-65 Medium Motto.

 

MS 63, I bet they deducted for lack of eye appeal otherwise MS 64?. I'm not saying it doesn't have it, but I bet its something they were picky about

 

I don't really like it, but I'm guessing 66.

 

66

 

At the woodrugsen school. We feel its
Purdy close to what he said

 

MS-64 give or take a grade, but MS66 would be way too high due to the muted luster and missing eye appeal.

 

Not enough feather or hair detail for me to be in the mid 60's.
The toning is a distraction.
If it is MS, then I am at 62.
Variety- Die from 1932 hubs?

 

@jtlee321 has the variety.

 

I recently came across a PCGS slabbed 1934 that was slabbed as a Heavy Motto but it was a Medium Motto. I would have bought it had it actually been the Heavy Motto. Oh well. Sometimes the TPG's can't get it right.

 

MS-65

 

In case anyone is interested, here is the a way to differentiate between the 3 Motto Types from PCGS CoinFacts. The Light Motto is very easy to see. The dead giveaway between the Medium Motto and Heavy Motto is the W in WE. The center point of the W in the Medium Motto is below the outer tops of the W. In the Heavy Motto, the center point of the W is above the outer tops of the W.

 

MS64?

 

Ya'all I am gonna wait till tomorrow evening to post the grade.
busy day today.

 

MS62.

 

Nicks and dings on the obverse, rub on the wings on the reverse.

I'm at 62

 

Could you crop or highlight the area you see rub on the wings? I'm just not seeing it.

 

It is pretty clean, but the dark toning, spotting, and rather mushy strike should keep it from going any higher than MS63

 

Areas where I think I see rub are highlighted. Not so sure about the leg, but the wings and the eagle's head definitely look like rub from the photo. Those are also the highpoints of the reverse.

 

....And after looking at the obverse again, I would say there is an outside change this went as low as AU58. The hair above the ear matches wear for a 58, but it could be a weak strike.
