MS-Ugly

 

Honestly, I can't really tell. The mottled toning kind of turns me off on this coin. Iowa halves typically run fairly high on the grading scale, so a 65 would not surprise me. But, honestly, if I were in the market for one, I'd look for a better one.

 

I wouldn't look at it twice, MS who cares

 

This might actually just be terrible photography. The coin might be nice. Either way, Impossible to tell grade

 

I wouldnt say its ugly. but, the sellers pics didnt do it any justice.

 

'66...........

 

66

 

65. Perhaps everything other than the eye appeal of the coin is 66 or better, but I can't get past the toning.

 

I say 65 but an ugly coin,this comm,usually grades in the 65-67 range as the strikes were good. However not a favorite by any means in comm coins.

 

I can't read the luster from those pictures. Somewhere between 64 and 67. I would tend to the low side as a guess.

 

hard to tell from those photos a coin I would not invest in

 

One should never invest......one should collect. Too danged risky to 'invest'.

I have a feeling that the photos of the subject coin were hastily prepared without regard to proper lighting and focus.

 

Man, if that is 66 or 67 then all of my commems. are 70PL Cameo

 

How long ya been here Rick? Most of these issues strike up '66 or better. Welcome to the forum.

 

And, for the record, I'd love a crack at photog'ing the original coin in question. I suspect it's much better in hand than in the shots portrayed...........

 

It likely is....here is the full holder. It is listed on ebay for 29k from one of everybody's 'favorite' sellers. Anyone expect this?

 

Not me.

 

Really?

 

Either, I.
When, you put it in the slab?
