64, but it looks like there's a scratch on the reverse?

 

nope, that is a large die crack. (thankfully :smile)

 

Oh, good. 64/65 is my grade for it.

 

MS65 - Nice looking Saint !
I was tempted to say MS66 but the ticks under her left arm were my deciding factor.

 

MS64 - ticks under her arm and across her dress. And another nice one.

 

I'm thinking MS64 too.

 

I'm guessing 64, GUESSING, just to clean overall but not quite there

 

Looks like a solid 65 to my eye, but the pics aren't big enough to be sure.

So I'm going to guess Zaneman has found a PQ 64.

 

Shes got problems under HER right arm and to the right of her right leg, otherwise a strong coin.

 

I hope you don't mind, but I think I'm going to just sit here stunned. It's like I'm seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. Can't wait to hear how PCGS calls this.

 

I agree with MS-64!

I think if the luster is really good, it would be 65. If not, 64.

 

I honestly thought the same thing, but think what you're looking at is stacking friction -- as the coin is too "clean" to be AU in my eyes....

...but then again, the photos aren't quite clear enough to judge which it is....Mike

 

Doug, don't they refer to that as "cabinet friction?" Hey, I think I learned that term from you.

I think we can all see it, whatever one wants to call it. On the obverse, it extends to the right leg, and through the rays just left of that. There's also a touch under the left arm. But my question, I guess, is, you know these things didn't circulate, how can you call that [circulation] wear? It'd have to be something different, no?

EDIT: If it is "cabinet friction," can it count against the grade? I didn't think it can.

 

I was just assuming they didn't. So the plot thickens, now...

 

The coin resides in a PCGS ms-63 holder.
