I am about to send this quarter and another I'll post in a separate thread to NGC for grading. Anyone care to "pre-guess the grade"? Poll will be open for 24 hours. I will post the grade when it comes in.
I like it, I like it a lot.. I would say it had a chance of getting the MS60-61 but that "heat damage" at 9oclock on the obverse makes any "clean" grade questionable. So that all said I would say probably an AU 58 Details.. "Env damage"
I'm at AU55. I don't think the issue at 9oclock will be an issue at all in my opinion. Case in point: This V nickel got a MS61 with all that's going on at 9oclock.
Thanks for everyone's input. I agree with the general consensus that it's around a straight-graded AU-55 to 58 but we'll see what NGC has to say.
I received this coin back from NGC on Friday, June 5. It graded at AU-58. So kudos to you all - you were either right on or in the ball park.
