I'm going with 66. 65 wouldn't surprise me...though I am pretty terrible at grading cents... and grading in general lol
I thought you would have nailed this one. There is a dead solid strike and only a couple tiny nicks. Can anyone doubt the luster? Those "spots" by the C are bright and shiny on the coin and that line below the OF is a material flow line.. Yes, NGC called it a 67 and I absolutely agree.
First and second stayed with Duke and non_cents , but thereafter, everyone jumped all over except somehow petro89 remained in sixth. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses. Duke Kavanaugh 0.269 27 non_cents 0.304 24 mark_h 0.351 49 rzage 0.354 43 bahabully 0.413 42 petro89 0.413 48 Leadfoot 0.420 26 ddoomm1 0.424 35 BadThad 0.442 45 ldhair 0.444 28
I can tell it's a blazer, nice orange-peel luster on the obverse and you can see the die polish lines on the reverse.....beautiful coin!
Eh, I got 1/2 and sitting comfy behind the Duke. Thought I saw sonething that could take a point off this one, but glad it got the grade it did.
