Just purchased... another $2 1/2 in ANA style Holder.. guess the grade

I saw this coin and had to have it! I have many many $2 1/2 in my collection, but this is the first Sesquicentennial Commemorative I plan on keeping. I have bought and sold a few before though. This is also the second $2 1/2 I've seen in the ANA style holder, so I had to have it! It is not in hand yet, so I plan on taking better pictures then, but any guesses with the seller's pictures on grade? I know the pictures are not great for guessing, but these usually have a flat worn look to them. The luster appears to be nice though.

looks like it should be a 63

But, ANACS was very tough back then.

Probably a 61 or 62

 

Cool commem. Let us know your thoughts once you get it in hand.

 

I agree with treashunt

 

smart!

 

These are pretty little coins. I like them, and yours is a nice one.

I might say a 62 on this one?

 

Still do not have it in hand... should be soon now. Will post pictures and I will see what I think it should be graded too.

 

OK, I got the coin in hand.. what are your opinions now? Remember, these are very softly struck. Lots of luster in hand.

 

Very nice, 64?

 

63

 

I made a new post about today's coin's in the mail.. I will see if I get a few more guesses, then post tonight

 

Looks AU. I'll say 55

 

Like I said, these coins have a very low relief, and always look weakly struck. I do not know if this is an accurate grade, but the luster tells me it should be higher.

 

Wow.... not expecting that

 

Who can give me information on a the letter n letter A slabs

 

Yeah, I would've guessed in the AU range. I don't know too much about gold coins and this particular coin's strike, but the high points on the obverse figure looks to be worn. But I can tell that some original luster is there.

 

I missed this thread till now but had AU55 in my brain.

 

I thought 63, and now have plans of finding a $2 1/2 dollar gold in the ANA slab and making a nice profit off of Mr JWitten

Heheheheheeh Muahahahaah Muaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaahaaaahaa

 

If only you weren't borrowing your assistant's old Compaq laptop, you would have clearly seen that is was an undergraded XF 45
