Great to see you , I was just asking where you were .

 

Call it a coin vacation

 

Ok, I'll try genuine/details just for fun.

 

This poll and http://www.cointalk.com/threads/guess-the-grade-561.236263/ will be closing tonight.

 

I almost did not put this one up. First off, those are die polish (or die scratches, if you prefer) lines. I cannot see any grader seeing those without a loupe and, even then, they do not count on the grade. Sorry, the color of my picture was a bit off. It is somewhat redder than it appears. All that being said, where are the problems? It has only the tiniest of nicks. The strike may not be perfect, but every detail is there (and the weakness is difficult to even find). Luster may not be the strongest I have seen, but it is far from weak. So NGC gave it a 67. Has it degraded since grading, maybe. But it is still very nice clean coin. I tend to agree with the 67 even today.

 

Everyone's score went up, but all but 4, 5, & 6 stayed in place.

BTW, the next time we lose a regular player (which looks to be soon), there will not be a top 10 because there will not be enough players qualified.

I agree I blew this one , maybe those polish lines did affect my grade even though I know they shouldn't . I did think those lines would be very noticeable even without a loupe . Now to worry about a couple tough coins coming up . How about a hint ? lol

 

They are both in the 60's.

 

LOL , not the 1st # the 2nd # .

 

Just to think a little while ago all the scores were in the .4s or better .

 

Problem from Jan. 28th;

Irish2Ice, Leadfoot, Duke Kavanaugh, MNcoinman, and ddoomm1are gone. Don't know where or why, but that is a lot of good guessers/graders missing today.

 

That's why I asked about Duke and Mike last week . Duke guessed in one of them today . It would be nice to have them all back . Irish2Ice seemed to fall off the earth , just hope they're ok . But I'm sure we had one where even #10 was in the .4s .
