I hope I get at least one right tonight , the way I've been going I don't need hints I need the answers . Both coins could go either way watch this one get a 65 and the other a 66 .
Sorry, but I don't get this one. It has a good strike, few nicks and those are tiny, along with descent luster. The luster is better than my pictures but not much better. There are no major distractions. Even that dark area below AMERICA is virtually invisible in hand. I would give it a 64 as did most of you. NGC only thought it deserved a 63. BTW, this coin has an interesting green cast over the fields. I so far have been totally unable to catch it in my pictures.
Unbelievable grade , guess I'm lucky I didn't go 65 as I think it is . Where are the hits that bring this down . I sure wish I can find a FE cent that I'll be looking for at the ANA convention this nice in a 63 , but you can bet all 63s will have nicks galore .
