<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skyman, post: 2314903, member: 28299&quot;]That is a very nice looking &#039;45-S.&nbsp; It does have the mushiness of strike described above, but that is nothing particularly new for S mint.&nbsp; Personally, I think FROM THE PIX, that it is technically a 66, but this is one of those gray areas...&nbsp; If it had even a dusting of attractive toning on it, it would be a lock 66.&nbsp; In this case, aside from the unattractive dark spots under the eagle&#039;s left wing, the toning is neutral, neither adding or subtracting from the coins looks, and I would call it closer to a &quot;white&quot; coin.&nbsp; The TPG&#039;s tend to be stricter as to technical grading on &quot;white&quot; coins.&nbsp; I was just looking at the current PCGS price guide, and even a 65+ is not worth the hassle/monetary outlay.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t need the money now, I would suggest putting the coin in an album (or an area) where it is likely to tone up over time, and send it in after it&#039;s gotten some toning on it.&nbsp; OTOH, IMO it&#039;s clean enough to take a shot at it now if you don&#039;t want to hold on to it.&nbsp; Please let us know what you do with it, and if you do submit it, please let us know what it grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
