<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3402518, member: 97383"]My personal thanks to everyone who was bold enough to <b>Guess the Grade</b>. I've been a serious coin collector for 50 years & in the 1980s had a business in Rochester, NY. I'd like to make a few points before showing the slab. No one can seriously grade a coin by looking at a photo, but you can get a good idea if the photo is accurate. Having the coin in your hand is the only way to grade a coin. Type I & type II double eagles have always been graded on a "softer scale" than type III coins; why I don't know. The reverse on this coin is better than the obverse as is usually the case with all double eagles. We do have one CT member who hit the nail on the head; <b>Dynoking</b>, congratulations !!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]903396[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]903398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]903399[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
