FWIW, this is not the same coin as before.

o0 thats really shiney. i'm guessing 66 for this one too, but ill go 66+1 for 67

 

66 and I only believe that due to the nice luster of the coin or else it may have gotten a 65.

 

Dang that wart on the obv Capt...... nice backside.. who know's.. went with my method on this one.

 

I guessed 67rd, and I susupect some may undergrade this. I also wonder if the coin had the slight discoloration on the high points when it was slabbed, and I'm betting it didn't.

66 at worst.

 

I say 66, so entered 65 lol

 

Anyone else notice the die wear/crumbling above PLURIBUS UNUM?

G, if you call it damage, we're going to have an argument.

 

I assume that is the same as on the last coin, all be it this one is less sever. Mr. Diamond called it a slide. I assume you 2 are using different terminology for the same thing.

 

67

 

66

 

66+2= ms68 rd

 

have you forgotten there is a new trick to grading these days the graders are all blindfolded so there is no bias

 

G, I submit they are the very same feature:

Coin #45


Coin #60


Call it die wear, call it die crumbling, call it a landslide. The same thing caused the feature on both coins.

 

Clearly there are some nicks in the fields near O and E PLURIBUS, but if you think that the area between E PLURIBUS and the rim is post-mint, you are delusional.

RLM, would you please take a better shot of coin #45 and #60 showing the entire upper rim?

Either that or confirm the area in question is raised.

If RLM confirms they are incuse (i.e. post mint damage), I will donate $100 to your favorite charity.

 

p.s. I have also posted this coin ATS to solicit other opinions:
