Looks like a bit of chatter on the face and neck. I'm thinking 64 or 65 on a good day.

 

MS66 (for color).

 

Is that the same coin you posted in the other thread? Wow, these ridiculously edited PCGS glamour shots really aren't giving a good feel for the coin. I'll bet your average guess is at least 2-3 points higher in this thread than the other one.

 

Im thinking 63 now.

 

I think you are right. Several of the same contact marks and rim hits. Photo seems extremely juiced.

I think you nailed it as a 62 in the other thread.

 

No comments for now
I will say that the toning isn't juiced (or at least not juiced in the sense one sees with certain listings...it even looks better in hand...I'll have another photo here and in the toning premium thread at some point soon).

 

MS-64+, same grade as the other thread.

 

63

 

63 all day. I don't care for the Truviews though, they seem unrealistic. Cool coin!

 

I said '65 in the other thread and I stand my ground............not that means ahellofalot..........

[wonders if he gets infracted for that one]

 

I will give the same answer as the other thread - 63

Although THESE Images make it look like a
65 after the 1 pt color bump

 

Fields look too clean to be 63. I'd give it 64+ or 65.

 

Blowing up the images - 64+ shot 65 (color bump)

 

As some realized, this is the same coin as in the other thread. I posted it separately since I also thought the PCGS photo made the coin look like a higher grade (I could see it as a 66/66+ if it looked like the photo). The color in hand is very nice and I think that bumped the coin up from a 64.

 

You placed it inside that bag to get extra-toning?

 

No that was just the packing paper when it arrived.

 

I simply cannot believe it got a 65 with all those huge marks on the cheek. And I really can't believe CAC thought it was a premium 65 at that.

 

Color bumps are real.

 

I'm definitely familiar with color bumps. This is just one of the biggest I've seen in a while, and I was surprised CAC gave a sticker to a coin that had that many face marks for a 65. I'd prefer this in a 63 grade, maybe 64 for the color bump. But a premium, high end 65? Hard to believe, even if the fields and luster are strong.
