66

 

Weak strike, couple of obverse spots that may have developed, 66 but I'm not rolling the dice.

 

Close one here 66 without the spots , 65 with .

 

Tough call, I'll go with 65.

 

I'll say 65 as well.

 

This and http://www.cointalk.com/t229921/ will be ending tonight.

 

I am not sure how to explain all of this one. First off, it is an older slab. In the 15+ years since it was slabbed, I am sure those spots have gotten worse. Regardless, I can just barely find one (in front of the nose) of them without a loupe. It has real nice luster.. The coin is just about nick free. What you are seeing are the left over planchet flaws. None are visible to my naked eye. The strike may not be the best, but all the details are there and those wheat lines are strong. I am sure it deserved that 66 when it was graded and I still think it would probably get a 66.

 

Well, this week is a bit more stable. The first 4 positions stayed the same, anyhow. However, all the rest did their own thing. But I guess that is what happens when there is only 0.036 (now 0.083) difference between #5 and #10.

LOL , I knew I should have went 66 , but getting burnt on that spot last week caused me to go conservative . 1 right 1 wrong again , this isn't good .

 

I wanted to go 66, but PCGS is usually tougher.
