Holy moly - not sure what to do with this. The strike and the grade together will be a pure swag for me. After looking around I went purely on gut instinct from when I first looked at it.
Oooh, this one's tough. It's definitely a very late die state coin, a weaker strike...I don't know what to choose.
I don't see any wear , so probably around 62 -63 , like Thad , I'm going to think about it . Certainly is an interesting coin though .
The bad thing about coins like this is that they can really hurt you in contest. After been down to the 10th spot recently, I'm being more careful. Hard to believe we have 5 details guesses on this one! LOLOLOL
I actually dropped out of the top 10 at one time. Then zoomed back up - I have a feeling these hit one and miss one is going to bite me soon.
I've been #1 once, and that was my goal. I'll probably drop out quicker than most of you guys, but at least I can say I was in the top 10 at one point.
I guess I'll find out if strike really matters till you get around 65 , We're up to 6 details now . lol
I have to quit looking at this one - the more I look the more I think I might be too low, but had to go with a gut feeling. Can't wait to see what badthad and rusty pick.
LOL , you're usually one of the 1st to vote , but everytime I look at this one I want to go 63 even though my gut says 62 . So I'll go 63 .
I am not sure how to weight this, with strike, luster, and the hits. I know eye appeal is most important, and this piece has great eye appeal, for a 40, in my eyes. I went 63...
