Man, I think I am going to give Genuine/details.. Probably got an MS60 but having doubts right now

 

A little shawdow on the right side of the reverse makes it tough to grade. I'm gonna think a couple of days. I also have these old NGC holder where the rim is obscured, it's hard to see the rub if any on a tweener.

 

What about the spot in the t in states?

 

AU details, environmental damage IMO.

 

This one is really really hard. I have seen coins like this one grade anywhere from 50 to 62, and the slight spot could put it in the details category also. I just took a stab in the dark at AU55. I think there's some rub on the cheek?

 

Looks like the classic NGC AU 58 to my eye, but having a tough time judging luster.

 

Ms-60bn

 

Don't like that T in states. I see green but it could have showed up after the grading. So I graded it.

 

I think it should be AU/MS Details. If not, it should be MS63.

 

hey rlm..just so i understand..if this cent does turn out to be AT how are the "wrong" grades scored...so what Im asking is how many grades will separate an AU-55 from an MS-63 in regards to the contest???

 

Each grade is 1 point. 45 - 50 = 1; 50 - 53 = 1; 53 - 55 = 1; 60 - 61 = 1. I still have not figured out just how Genuine/details should be handled, but what I have done so far is count it where it sits on the poll.

 

Honest Abe, I'm goin AU-58 on you buddy.

 

I'm passing on voting this time. NGC is too unpredictable on coins like this. My guess would have been AU-53. There's just too many signs of having seen some circulation IMO.

 

This and http://www.cointalk.com/t195134/ will be closing tomorrow night.

I should be able to post the answers some proximity of on time, but I am not too sure when I will get the standings posted.

 

If I was voting I'd go AU-55 . But a 58 wouldn't suprise me . Depends on if the spots were there when slabbed and wether it was a Mon or Fri. at NGC . Too many varibles .

 

It really does not look that bad in hand. It is relatively free of mark and has fair luster but has some blotchy color in a couple spots. I see no damage on it, just spotting. I am guessing NGC thought it was album friction because they called it 62. BTW, see http://www.cointalk.com/t116472/

 

How do you score a genuine/details vs. ms62 actual ?

 

So far;

However, I am definitely open to suggestions.

 

Just an idea Dick , in future threads you could have us include a details grade if we choose genuine details , then you could use that grade to help determine the score , just putting details covers a lot of ground .
