[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 25930408, member: 77413"]This 1929-D is certainly a 64 BN, since it was graded by ANACS and bought through Great Collections. It was almost exactly on the price guide, with a bit more for buyer’s premium. The chatter along Abe’s lapel might have knocked the grade down a bit. It is well camouflaged and doesn’t bother me. As with many of these 1920’s coins I have been posting, there is very little die wear in evidence. The surfaces have very few light radial flow lines. The reverse has a touch of pleasant toning. The luster is not really cartwheel, as would be evident on a coin with more die wear. Instead, the luster follows the compound curvature inherent to the design. The texture on the fields is not smooth, either. It is more granular. I think that is by design, as shown on this matte proof (which should define what was intended, I would think).
