<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3925761, member: 19165&quot;]Time for the reveal! With 33 votes, the CoinTalk guess is.... 63.4. </p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS and CAC gave this a 65, so we were 1.6 points low. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think people were keying on the old holder more than they should have, trying to hedge their bets based on the holder. Grade the coin, not the plastic! The coin appears almost completely free of marks. The luster is apparent (although, we&#039;ve learned that most Heritage pics are a bit on the dark side). The strike is bold and crisp, and eye appeal is good (not great, but not bad). </p><p><br /></p><p>Those of you who guessed AU-58 were probably doing so based on the slightly darker high points. This is tricky in photos, but I&#039;m guessing you would have guessed closer with an in-hand evaluation. Remember, in photos, use all of the available indications. In this case, I see no abrasions or loss of luster in the fields. I&#039;d expect to see at least a bit of that on an AU coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1034786[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
