giving it a 65, though with the way some of these last coins have been graded I wouldnt be surprised if this get's a 64
To err on the side of caution as some do, I will call it "AU 58" or "[TABLE="width: 500"] [TR="bgcolor: white"] [TD="class: tabledata"]"UNC DETAILS [/TD] [TD="class: tabledata"]ALTERED COLOR"[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] based on some of the tough results I have gotten recently
Coins with light spotting like seen on both sides always makes me nervous when it comes time to guess the grade. Could be anything from 64 to 67. 66 would be my guess, but I am going to abstain.
This is probably the only red woody I have seen certified. I wish I knew if the stripes were there when it was certified. They are faint, but if you look closely, you be able to see them running 2:30 to 8:30 on the obverse. This has a dead solid strike, great luster and just a couple tiny nicks. I have no idea when the spot on the reverse rim showed up. With it, it would be a lucky 66. Without it, it is a nice 66.
The last 6 have been tossed around and ddoomm1 has reappeared. Maybe the biddest change is that everyone's scores seem to be rising after the last couple weeks. Top 10. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses. ldhair 0.368 20 Animosity 0.375 17 Leadfoot 0.389 38 rzage 0.393 30 bahabully 0.475 42 mark_h 0.489 49 Duke Kavanaugh 0.516 33 BadThad 0.564 41 jcakcoin 0.596 49 ddoomm1 0.632 20
