Please guess and use the poll. Note: I didn't have enough room, so a few of the possibilities were combined onto one line.
I grade it 63+ The toning and semi prooflike fields are very attractive, but the obv has too many contact marks for me to call the coin a 64.
63. I really like the toning. The reverse is close to PL. A fair amount of bagmarks, under the toning, that would limit it to 63. Might be 63+
I’m at 63 obverse and 65 reverse. I’d bet the luster looks fantastic. My personal grade is 63, but since this is a GTG, I guessed 64
This one shocked me; I'm not seeing what PCGS and CAC saw... 2 point color bump and still a sticker.... Or are the marks all luster grazes?
Okay, this is where I pivot and defend the TPG grade at all costs, blaming photos, lack of in hand inspection, marks are magnified etc.... NOPE, this coin is overgraded by at least one point, possibly 2, or more! That grade is atrocious.
Agreed. The toning is very nice, but I think the obverse is too baggy for a 65+. 64 might have been defensible, with the bump for color, but a 65+? No way.
