Guess the Grade - Isabella Quarter - Photo & Video

I couldn't quite capture this one in a photo, so I'm using the PCGS TrueView image along with my video.

Please guess the grade.

amazing I will say MS-66

 

Nice , very nice toning , Hard to grade . I'm guessing MS-62 maybe .

 

@Beefer518 I figure you might want to see this commem

 

64 from me. Classic commems are graded about 80% on luster, because few of them have any significant marks, and most are well struck. I'm not seeing the level of luster for a gem grade, but I'm willing to be wrong here. There's also the possibility of a color bump. Either way, 65 would also not shock me, but I highly doubt it would go any higher.

 

a heck of allot better than this horrible picture of my Izzy!
Very Nice coin MS-63 $4-500 coin?

 

Minimum I would grade the coin is 65. It is clearly a gem. Would not shock me at 66, either.

 

True View

 

TruView what?

 

Beautiful Isabella, whatever the grade turns out to be.

It's very well struck, as the thread across her thigh is well defined. PCGS true Views seem to not emphasize luster, so I'll assume (ass|u|me?) is strong. I can't really tell if there is slight rub on the high spots or if it's variation in the toning (which I'm loving BTW). There appear to be light contact marks that are probably amplified by the lighting, mostly on the reverse.

With that said, I'd say it's a 63, but PCGS gave it a 64.

***EDIT***

I'm changing to 64 from me, 65 on the label after some additional scrutinizing, and comparing with mine.

 

64+

Looks like a PL candidate from the video.

 

I had the same thought about PL, an I didn't realize there was a video! LOL

 

Maybe, but PL is a tough sell on a toner.

 

64

 

65

 

65

 

Was commenting The Isabella shown in a PCGS TRU View. Do you have it in hand?

 

65

It is also likely PL, but there's zero chance of getting the designation due to the toning (an unfair and ridiculous practice in my opinion when PL surfaces are readily apparent).

Great coin.
