This poll and http://www.cointalk.com/threads/guess-the-grade-597.241272/ will be closing tonight.

 

Where's all the old timers ?Weren't these struck with the dies too far apart ?

 

25 but hey I have no idea how to grade Trying to learn

 

Almost missed this one!

 

Yes, it is ANACS. Apparently that scared many away, but I think they got it right or maybe even a bit conservative. First off, the 1924-D is noted for its mushy strikes from overused dies . This one is not too bad, but you can see the details are not super sharp. Light wear on the high points and several small nicks. But there is nothing totally worn off. I think 40 is right or maybe even 40+.

BTW, I got this one out of circulation 50+ years ago.

Man did I blow it big time this week . There goes my ANACS will be lenient story . Congrats Mark .

 

Stick around , you'll learn a lot here . Wear is the same even if it's Lincolns or Morgans .

 

I tried to warn you. Those old ANACS slabs are well graded. I would not say I agree with every one of them, but then I don't agree with all the NGC or PCGS either.

 

That you did , I have a couple of well graded Bust Halves in the older small holders . I really blew it going 67 on the other coin , I should have known the luster was slightly muted on the reverse .

 

WOW can't believe that jump. I missed two of the threads and a couple of my big misses must have dropped off.

 

Now I have to catch you . Maybe if I don't play a few , I won't miss any and my score will go down . lol

 

You just replaced 2 misses with 2 correct. Just wait until next round!

 

How about a hint , I only voted on one so far .

 

They both qualified as red.

 

How about a 2 number hint like 66, 67 .

 

You are correct. It does have 2 digits. And one of them is greater than or equal to the other.
