    Dude ! Did you inherit an oil well or something ?

    Hey... I just remembered ! I am your long lost twin Skippy, and I get half the inheritance ! At which point your popularity will go up by 1. :rolleyes:

    That thing is a way-strong MS65 at the least. The tiny discoloration in "ES OF AM" might hold it back from higher, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it in a 66 slab. Super-sweet fields, luster that glows in the dark. Wonderful, wonderful coin.

    As Billy Crystal once said, "You look mah-velous !"

    Spock, if you got that for 64 money, you got a heck of a deal.

    I second that statement! Sweeeeeetttttt coin spock! IMHO it is no less than a high 65 but really should go a 66 even with the few light nicks and dings. It appears to have a nice Die Crack extending from the rim through the second "A" in AMERICA.

    If I slip you an extra $20 (st. gaudens) under the table does that make it a done deal?

    Totally agree, SM.

    Yes, it's true. An average coin can look awesome in a photo - even without photoshop. Some problems are seen only at a certain light angle.

    But we're not throwing down $$$ to buy. We're only offering on opinion - on the picture, not the coin.

    Whoa, niiiice one man! Beautiful! Strong MS-65 to me, might go a MS-66. But, that is one killer coin, congrats! :thumb:

    Look a little harder stainless - find the tick marks on the coin. There is one on the N above 10 dollars. Look at what looks like dirt in TES of AMER. Don't get me wrong I would take this coin over any modern 69/70. I see enough not to warrant a 69 and remember we only have pictures to go by. Just take your time looking at the coin - this is a beauty of a coin no matter what the grade.

    Also too, the die crack on the reverse will stop it a bit, along with the dirt on the letters on the reverse. Lol, I feel weird critising a beautiful coin like that. :D

    thanks for the help:)

    Love how people pick apart a coin that most would not decline for their collections. That is why I no longer post my most significant acquisitions, in fact I don't even put them on the public areas of my website anymore.

    there is nothing on the feather of the eagle on the reverse that i can see. i am wonderign what you are seeing?

    yes you have a point there but some of the picking apart i see is valid and some is downright crazy (in general not for this coin or my coins alone) thats why one should take everything with a pinch of salt if anyone says they can accurately grade a coin just by looking at the pic go and hit them where it hurts the most

    I wasn't picking it apart, I was just showing a few of the minor flaws, because stainless said he didn't see anything that would keep it from a 69 grade. I also said it is a very nice coin, and I felt weird about critizing such a coin like that. That is, if your post was directed at me. :D
