1945-S PCGS slabbed NOTE: If you don't vote in the poll, your vote will not be counted. Answers to this round will probably be delayed, but it will still end next Saturday, 6-22.
I see some die polish lines on the obverse, probably lots of luster. Almost perfect as far as hits, very nice! I'm gonna be bold!
This and http://www.cointalk.com/t229410/ will be ending tonight. Answers and nest round will probably follow tomorrow.
The obverse sure looks like a 67 , hit wise it's a 67 , but is that enough discoloration on the reverse to drop it to a 66 ? Heck does PCGS even need a reason to drop a 67 to a 66 . lol
I wish I knew why some are seeing this as a 65 , To me it's at least a 66 even at PCGS , if it was slabbed by NGC I'd say a solid 67 which wouldn't surprise me even at PCGS .
Despite the odd coloring (kind of a blue/slate speckled on almost orange), it has great luster. There is nothing wrong with that strike, but there are a couple nicks. That one on the shoulder is a pretty good one and there are a couple on the reverse. Not a 67, but a reasonable 66.
