    I like it! :thumb:

    Taking a WAG and voting MS65, but the fact that you included AU58 as an option in this poll and not your other thread makes me wonder......................... :rolleyes:

    That's so Doug can vote too.:smile
    I think it's close to an AU but I think they gave it a 65.
     
  5. I am also between 65 and a 66 on this one, so 65+ for me. TC

    I really wanted to say 66+, but I was chicken.

    I have an almost complete set of washies, 90% in ms66, this one looks as good or better so I'm at 66.

    I voted MS66. These 1950-1952 S-Mint issues have fantastic luster so I am assuming that the coin is just rolling with luster.

    Sorry I graded on the low end due to the tarnish. I gave it a 64. :(

    While I understand that you might not like toning, the TPG's don't penalize the grade for such minimal peripheral toning.

    Will not use the n1 system here and just say 66....

    It took me a long time to appreciate/understand it myself but nowadays I'm always looking at coins with a little hue along their rim. It usually suggests the coin is "un-treated," has original surfaces, and/or from a former collector's album. With that said, I still don't pay premiums for 1957 toned quarters...yet.

    The obverse looks clean (MS66+) but all of the marks on the eagle on the reverse...if that's a MS66 I have MS69's in my collection. Since I image a lot of coins I am pretty good at not micro grading from large images and I don't have anything above a 64 maybe a 65 with that many bag marks to the eagles wings, breast and legs.

    Better late than never!

    The original grade (PCI MS67) and new grade (NGC MS67) are the same:
