MS-63 ?

 

I'll go 66 .

 

MS65 RD

 

66

 

63 looks a bit baggy on the portrait. The luster is great tho

 

67.

 

Looks like a 65 to me

 

Luster is strong, strike is average. Fields are hard to see in these pictures, which will tend to affect the grade. There are way too many hits on the central focus areas to grade higher than a 64, in my opinion.

 

MS65

 

MS65RD

 

Nearly perfect, 67RD.

 

imo
MS62, but I first went for au58 with wear showing on wheat stalks and coat lapel, might just be the picture though. Too many marks for 64 and 63 so I'll stick with MS62 RB, nice coin though. I don't see 62 as a choice at the beginning of the thread or AU58 so maybe I'm wrong.

 

65 RD

 

agreed, a lot of cheek chatter

 

Bill , I think the hits look bigger than they really are as the pic is really magnified .

 

At least someone got this one right. Those fields are spotless and there are no noticeable hits on the coin. And, believe it or not, you cannot see those planchet marks unless you use a loupe. My first impression was to give it a 66 solely because the luster is not as booming as what I am used to seeing on 67's - not that there is anything at all obstructing the luster. Apparently PCGS is not as critical about luster as NGC.

 

Why it's hard to grade from a pic it enhanced the marks greatly as rusty pointed out

 

I don't think my picture "enhance" the marks. Rather, those pictures are at least 10x on my screen. When you are grading from a picture, you have to either reduce the picture (or imagine it reduced) to the size you would grade it from. And, remember that the graders normally use their naked eyes to grade.

 

Congrats on getting it right , the fields were definitely clean enough .
