<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 144888, member: 2972&quot;]PCGS graded the coin MS 66.&nbsp; The variety, Reverse of &#039;38, was correctly identified by several folks.</p><p><br /></p><p>My thoughts on the coin are as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin has great luster and is actually lightly rainbow colored which doesn&#039;t show in the photos well at all.&nbsp; The strike on the obverse is fairly good.&nbsp; The reverse strike is a bit weak centrally. There are a few nicks and taps on both sides, but none are in focus areas nor are they overly visible without magnification.&nbsp; Overall, I feel strongly that this coin deserves a 66.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those of you who graded the coin lower, probably tried to grade the coin from the larger photos.&nbsp; I suggest that you get your grade by looking at the smaller photos, then see if the larger photos show any significant problems.&nbsp; Don&#039;t be fooled by nicks and taps visible in the huge photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
