1953 PCGS slabbed NOTE: If you don't vote in the poll, your vote will not be counted. To be honest, there is a very camera shy brown streak noticeable by eye above the ONE. You can just barely make it out in my picture.
Every once in a while you see a real head-scratcher in these 50's cents. I hope this one is not that, and they graded it 66 (what I guessed) and not 67.
I know what you mean the fields are so clean even PCGS could give this one a 67 . As long as that long mark is on the holder on the reverse under America and not a scratch on the coin .
For those of you who guessed 67, there are a total of 3 of the graded by PCGS and they go for $10,000++ per copy. Sorry, but that is just not in my budget nor anyone I know budget. Nice strike, nice luster, and very minimal nicks although there is a minor scratch on the right wheat lines. I really think this one is a 67 with blotchy coloring so they gave it a 66. The blotches are not so obvious except maybe the one above the ONE, but they all add up.
