RLM, I am impressed with you collection. I hope one day mine could look as great as yours. As always, thanks for sharing and taking the time to do this!
I guessed 66. seems to be too much abrasion on the cheek bone in front of the ear to make the 67. VERY nice satiny fields on this one!
Some light deeper red and silver coloring, this is another very pretty coin. The marks on his cheek are there, but much amplified in the picture. Dead solid strike with nice luster and very few nicks. NGC called it a 67. Again, I don't think it is a strong 67, but I cannot argue with a 67. BTW, no one noticed the filled 5?
Some minor changes in the lower half, but we have a new leader again. Leadfoot took over from BadThad Top 10. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses. Leadfoot 0.447 40 BadThad 0.489 47 rzage 0.500 24 ericgo 0.526 21 swhuck 0.543 48 mark_h 0.563 50 ldhair 0.565 25 bahabully 0.581 45 jcakcoin 0.583 38 ddoomm1 0.588 36
Ha ! nope, that's usually the 2nd thing I make myself look at after the rims when grading.... must'a been a weekend when I looked at this one <hickup,, urp>.
Did anyone notice that it says the grade in the lower right corner of the picture when enlarged? (It said "1955-S NGC 67 R.JPG) Of course, I didn't use that to determine the grade.
Not until you said something...but yes, the pics have the grade in the file name I see. I'm sure Dick will be on it after this. Definate....DOH! LOL
I am sorry, I put the wrong slab picture up earlier. (Now corrected.) As I explained here http://www.cointalk.com/t193164/#post1282144, the 66 then or 67 this time is not the grade, but the slab number. I is merely a way for me to distinguish between the different slabs. If you have not figured it out yet, not all of these coins are in my collection. Several of them either are for sale or have been sold. This is the third 1955-S I have posted and I still have 4 more. However, I only have 2 of those in my collection. I needed some way to keep track of which picture was which slab and I chose the last digits of the slab number. It just so happens that this coin got named 67 (and the earlier was a 66).
