WOOO HOOO - So here is the next gem that I am the keeper of for the time being. So how is your eye compared to the TPG's ? Ill give you a hint that the coin is in a green lable slab... So is it undergraded ? Remember this is guess the TPG's grade ,not your grade but Id still like to hear what you would call it too.
Technically it could be a MS64. I would say MS63 as the long verticle scratch on the cheeck stands out BIGTIME. Really the only reason it stands out so much is because the coin is so clean.
I think the holder says 62? I would give it a 63 from the photo. Those OGH's aren't always undergraded. Have a look here. What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170208045948&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D%2B170208045948%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1
The old holder tripps me up a bit. I think the slab says ms 64, I would say AU58, as it looks to have some rubs on her goldie locks and on the eagles feather tips. Very nice coin, by the way. :thumb:
I'd say it's MS-63 same thing on the lable , still a beautiful original coin , could go MS-64 . rzage
That coin sure is clean for an almost 200 year old coin, but it looks to me like it has some album wear. I will guess AU58. If it did make MS, I would say MS64.
I would hope that PCGS said AU58, I would as well. There is light wear on the tops of the wings, eagle's beak, eagle's head, and just a tad on the branch. On the obverse light wear on the hair, a touch on the cap and the date. But since I'm just looking at a picture, I must be wrong
I'll say MS-64 for my grade, MS-63 as there grade (atleast IMO). That's a beauty for sure! :thumb: Phoenix
I see enough darkening of metal on the high spots, and on the reverse field, to believe that it is AU58. I will bet it graded out as MS62, though.
Oh boy, I may just have to send you this one GD . Just so you can disagree with it in hand. I'll have to post some other pictures on Tuesday because I have done this coin a dis-service according to the comments. I think you all are going to be amazed.
That is one of the best struck Bust Half I have ever seen, the only flaw that I can see in the pictures is the vertical mark on the face. Because of the I will say 64/65, without that or if that is a scratch/hair on the slab or something then I would say 66/67. As for attribute, it looks like a O-118, if that is a die crack on top of "TATES" that I see, and there is no die crack on top of "MERICA" (I cannot see one here in the picture), then it is between O-118 and O-118a. In either case, they are both R.1 ~Droid
