NOTE: This Saturday's answers will probably be late, the scores won't come until Monday and no new round until Wednesday.. I will be in Fort Worth again. These two in hand are about as identical as I have ever seen The pictures show more of a difference than there is in hand. I have not figured how I will score these as to the color yet, but I thought it might be interesting to comparatively grade these. 1910-S NGC slabbed NOTE: If you don't vote in the poll, your vote will not be counted.
64RB here. the only thing i saw, which was big was the gouge above ONE. More than 5% of luster, has to be RB.
Scoring - you get 1 point per grade you missed the correct grade by + 0.5 point if you got the color wrong In hand; It is close, but my guess is the NGC has more red although the PCGS has a more typical red cent color (but it is not as pronounced as my pictures show it).. Both have a good strike and are nearly identical. The NGC has a nick over ONE and a couple very tiny other nicks. The PCGS has some tiny nicks on the cheek and one on the shoulder. That sounds about even to me. The NGC has several very tiny spots on the obverse, but they blend well into the grain. The PCGS several blotches that do not quite blend into the grain but they are not the black obvious types. Neither coin has screaming luster, but both descent luster. However, NGC has better luster on the obverse and PCGS has better on the reverse. Personally, I would give them both 64RB, but neither got that grade. The PCGS only got a 63, but they did say RB. NGC got the 64, but they called it brown.
No major change this week. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses. Irish2Ice 0.276 31 Leadfoot 0.397 30 ldhair 0.417 25 bahabully 0.453 34 rzage 0.533 46 petro89 0.548 33 BadThad 0.554 48 ddoomm1 0.574 49 pumpkinpie 0.583 25 mark_h 0.598 43
Yep...I got both grades and color designations right. We'll see what happens this week. I may have overgraded :/
