GTG challenge #2

Let’s reveal the grade: MS65 - no FS

Many of you thought it would qualify for FS and only 1 person voted a lower grade (MS64FS). Only 5 of you voted MS65 and 22 (!) of you thought is was 65FS or even a higher grade coin. Another candidate to crack out and submit again I guess

Dang. Off one again....

 

That is NOT an FSB coin

 

Nailed it!

 

I agree, but we're going by PCGS standards here. They tend to be a little loosey goosey with FSB.

 

I guessed 65, no FSB, and I think that is the correct grade. I don't think you'll get anything except for lost grading fees if you resubmit.

 

Late again......my assessment is '65.....

 

Actually if we take you at your words, you originally said that you graded it a 65 but wouldn’t be surprised to see it in a 66 holder...

So were you hedging your grade, or do you think it could grade 66?

 

It has nice eye-movement through it. The middle band isn't all there, so it fails on that criteria. If they don't give it at least MS66, they're blind. And I could up that one.

 

I’ll get high res pictures too... and there’s the thrill when waiting for the results

 

I think they blew it. I think it is definitely FSB. I got the 65 technical grade correctly, though if I were you, I would resubmit, looking for a 65+ or 66, with FSB.

 

You're talking PCGS standards for FSB, right? To me, they look pretty flat, so I don't think they'd qualify under NGC standards, but I did guess FSB because it was in a PCGS holder.

 

I see a break in the separation of bands below the 2 Red dots. Clearly not full bands.

 

I agree, but maybe close enough for PCGS?

 

There’s a third break to the left of these two.

I say not good enough for PCGS
