haha... who want's to go first ?

I'm gonna have to go drink a beer first..... this is the toughest one I've can remember seeing so far.... 'really' smells AU'ish to me, dunno... let me drink on it.

 

I've had my drinks...so I went 63

 

60

 

Man I really really want to go 58 on this one... especially given it's pcgs graded,,,, but rlm's just hasn't broken the seal on AU's yet (unsure he even bothers with them),,, so will go 60, and then +1,, which is as low as I'm gonna go until I see an AU posted by rlm (can't remember him ever posting anything below MS). Anyway,, I see gunk, hits, poor strike, and what appears to me to be wear above the ear and other areas (or is that strike) (or is that cabinet rub) (or is that toning)... oh boy ! <hicup>

 

This might be one you catch up then.

63bn

 

I'm kinda doubting it.. lol... I've seen 58's that look like this one, and I've seen 63's that look like this one...... The only difference that I can see in them both is that I buy the 58's and RLM's buys the 63's..... pocket depth difference I think. ; )

I like that the coin offers the potential for some delta's in the scoring,,, but I think you may be closer to actual than me on this one,,, but hey, if you never try to pass, you never will.

 

My twisted logic - I thought 62 when I first saw it, but really not as ugly as I expected a 62 to look. So I bumped it one.

 

oh boy... I just noticed the low to no rim at 2 o'clock.... leading me to think that this one has strike issues and that that there is no significant wear (at least not by pcgs's definition)... Date and mm is strong... dang it....... I think I just missed a gear,,,, oh well,, die is cast.
... maybe I'll get lucky and pcgs will abide by thier strike to grade definitions on this one... any takers ?

 

I have the TPG's on a coin like this!

AU-63

 

I am surprised no one has said anything about the date.

 

Uh, ok, I'll play the noob.... What about the date?

 

It is not a 1918-D. Look again.

 

1948-d modified date?

 

Try 1918-S

 

S, D, what's the difference?

If it's not a modified date, what's going on with it? I give up.

 

It is an S and not a D. That is all I am saying.

 

lol
I saw it but didn't think it was worth a comment...and after all this am really thinking I was right

 

I don't know what's the big secret. Guess I'll wait to hear.
