What's your grade? 1925 Lexington Commem

Stopped into my LCS, and my guy had to show me this, in it's OGP (the Pine Box). I already have one in the box, but this one I just had to have.

I'm on the fence on the grade, so I ask you my Commemorative brethren - What would you grade this?

Man, with the original box? You can't say no to that, unless the price is too high. LOL

My guess would be a 65. I see a few hits that in my opinion would keep it no higher than 65. Of course I am just learning to grade these.

 

Can I see the box? I've never seen what the original Commem packaging looks like.

 

Sure. This is the box from my first boxed Lex. I haven't imaged the new one yet. The new one is in a bit nicer condition, but the same.

Top is stamped with the minuteman, and the bottom is stamped with the old belfry, just like the coin. The top slides out, and the is a spot for the coin. I'll put up more images later.

 

MS-63

 

Here's the new box -

 

MS64

 

64. The box is exceptional with very clear stampings.

I looks like an MS 63 in my opinion
(62 if the graders are harsh; 64 wouldn't surprise me either)
....these are always cool to find!
