ok... back from a busy summer ! I'm gonna start back with gut shot opine grade and then (likely) go back to +1 dependent upon my results.
RLM's,, you are the man !!!!

 

63

 

WOW! That's a killer 20-S!

 

Ms-65rb

 

Great obverse. The reverse really brings the grade as a whole down. Obverse - 67, Reverse - 62.

Total Grade 65

 

ms-66 is my guess

 

I see pixels.

There's way too much noise in this pic. If this were the Grassy Knoll, I'd see three shooters LOL

 

I'd say a solid 65 , but with PCGS I'll go conservative and go 64 .

 

I went with 65.

 

65 rb

 

This and http://www.cointalk.com/t216694/ will be ending SOON tonight.

 

I bought this coin from Andy Skrabalak (Angel Dees) at the Dallas ANA show. We both think this ought to be a 64. According to him, he sent this to PCGS 4 times and got 63RB, 63RD, cleaned, and then 63RB. Although I think he has a tendency to spin tales, in the end, we cannot see what PCGS saw in this to hold it to a 63. It is a good strike (particularly for a not so well struck year), decent luster, and no significant distractions.

 

Really can't see this coin as a 63 , it's well struck with clean fields and hardly any hits . A coin I'd be proud to own .

 

Yea, it's a very nice coin....PCGS is wrong....these have subdued luster, that's all there is to it. These along with the 21-S are generally terrible. Not only are the strikes usually poor, I believe the planchets were bad for both years as evidenced by the abundance of woodies. They also toned down very quickly and true red, bright coins are exceedingly rare. I really hate when luster dominates over hits, spots and strike. For the issue, this is a nice coin!

 

Made me to look....LOL....gotta love ha.com as a reference tool.

Check out this BB, I call bull on it:

That's how all of the MS examples I've seen in hand look. Most of them look like they were dipped, almost lusterless. Could it be I've only seen "questionable" coins over my collecting span? LOL

 

Bad pics, but this is more what I expect a 63 to look like:

If you got that at 63 $ you did outstanding... PQ indeed.

 

I think it still fit into the 63 price range, but it definitely was not at the lower end of it.

 

I guess a lot of us have only seen or looked at dipped coins . lol
