Ms66 rd

 

MS-65 RD??? this one got me

 

Man i am really stumped on this one. I think it could go as high as a 66 just not quite sure on the luster. Going to give it a 66 anyways just because its a sharp coin

 

Always tough to grade woodies.

Looks 65 to me... but the one spot on the obv left field does not appears to be part of the wood pattern,, more of a spot.. so I'll guess 64 based on the spot.

 

65. Very tough though.

 

I voted 65, but 66 wood not surprise me.

 

I fear one grader lower than my guess because it's a woody. It's an outstanding coin and my personal grade is a 65....but the TPG's suck at grading these IMO.

 

Funny - I thought age spots. But after it graded a 65.

 

I said 65. Very interested to see how wood grain treated on the grade.

 

I will be closing this and http://www.cointalk.com/t193724/ tonight.

 

I cannot find a mark on this coin. Super solid strike with Abe's beard being just about as full as I have seen. It has nice luster, but this is not its strong suit. So what does NGC grade it - UNC Detail Altered Color. I am sorry, but I don't get it.

 

That is pure, unadultered bullshlogger! Crack and send to PCGS. The altered/artificial/questionable color labels are nothing but cop-outs for the TPG's 90% of the time. Some coins they just don't want in a slab so they toss them into this category.

I'm surprized you kept it in that slab. I crack those open as soon as I get them back unless I think they might actually be right.....which has been never. LOL

 

I never crack them out unless I am going to do something particular with them. They add protection and once they are out, they cannot go back in - but I can crack them anytime I desire.

 

"altered color" really?? NGC ...really??? psha what a joke...probably some graders first day on the job
