<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 1103891, member: 26972&quot;]It&#039;s PCGS graded.&nbsp; I purposely left the grade off to better discuss the notorious soft detailed coins that San Francisco produced up to the 31-S . I also used my original camera image rather than the circular cropping that I normally use.&nbsp; I want to get as many unbiased opinions as I can using the thinking of buy the coin not the label.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The 26-S is the rarest MS65 and better wheatie out of 150,&nbsp; &nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp; 9th rarest at MS60 and better!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a tough tough coin by all accounts.&nbsp; AU coins are going to look XF!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>auction numbers for this coin are closing super low comparatively to its rarity&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW - I misquoted Red Book in my original Post - the world series homerun for finding a full details coin was an analogy related to the 26-D not the 26-S. Although I think that the comment under the 26-D paints a better and more accurate picture of the 26-S -&nbsp; I got a new scanner..&nbsp; I got an excuse to post the RED BOOK 26-S info regarding the strike. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/bd1396be.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have been researching this coin off and on all day and have left open this reply -&nbsp; I have quite a few images&nbsp; of MS coins that I will post a bit later. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a quote from Jamie Hernandez</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ok - for some visual aids.&nbsp; ALL PCGS coins - images from COINFACTS and registry sets - obverses only to simplify&nbsp; -&nbsp;&nbsp; Hyperlinks for Thads perusal - pasting links twice is a PITA..&nbsp; get a bigger screen with the little mouse wheel thingy would ya!?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>PCGS AU-58 at a glance looks EF!</b>&nbsp; <a href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/50db1c13.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/50db1c13.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/50db1c13.jpg</a></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/50db1c13.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>64RB super soft details</b><a href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d12d7d35.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d12d7d35.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d12d7d35.jpg</a></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d12d7d35.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>63RB Watersports registry coin shows similar alloy graining </b><a href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/997122eb.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/997122eb.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/997122eb.jpg</a></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/997122eb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>MY PCGS COIN showing soft details and wood graining</b></p><p><a href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/fc0dccbf.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/fc0dccbf.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/fc0dccbf.jpg</a></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/fc0dccbf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>This coin nearly matches in all characteristics IMO MS64 from ESM Registry set.</b></p><p><a href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d31edc2e.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d31edc2e.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d31edc2e.jpg</a></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/d31edc2e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
