    Unc details. I think the striations I'm seeing cause that grade. Hope I'm wrong and it's an MS 64+.

    Looks 64ish with some interesting die cracks.

    Nice!

    It depends on how heavy the hits on the face are. I'd call it 66 shot 65+.

  • Pnies20Pnies20 Posts: 2,343 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I’d say 65. The nicks on the upper cheek are too distracting for 66. No matter what it’s great looking.

    65+ Fields look amazing

    Only holdbacks I see are dings on face and the carbon spots next to the cotton balls

    Whoever said something about striations, it appears that its common on this issue.

    Looks 65 at least to me.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would say 64... mainly due to the cheek dings and field dings on the reverse.....Cheers, RickO

  • DelawareDoonsDelawareDoons Posts: 3,413 ✭✭✭✭✭

    65+. Looks like it probably has booming luster.

    Whoa!
    Ranges of 63 needs a bath, to 66.
    Noice WAGs!
    Here is another view.

  • CoinJunkieCoinJunkie Posts: 8,772 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Such a range of guesses is really par for the course on a GTG.

  • 59Horsehide59Horsehide Posts: 427 ✭✭✭

    Just goes to show how subjective grading is. To me it is a 64.

  • bearcavebearcave Posts: 3,996 ✭✭✭✭✭

    65

    My initial grade was 63+, but after seeing the 2nd image, I'll say MS64.

    true - would have been mildly disappointing if everyone had it down pat to one grade ;)

  • CCGGGCCGGG Posts: 1,267 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Second photos make it look better than the first. Could be a 64, even without a bath... :D

    65

    When in doubt, don't.
  • TurtleCatTurtleCat Posts: 4,610 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Shows how hard it is to grade by picture. To me the cheek hits are too much for 65 and I’d go with 64. If it was simply luster disturbance I’d go with 65.

    Closest WAG is @cameonut2011 and he still got it off by a + :o
    This graded 66+
    And it is beaned.

    The second photo I posted above is also from PCGS.
    The opening pics is from SB

    The hits on the face is really subtle in hand, truly minimal. See how often times a picture can go either way?
    Was advised it would 7 without that.

    as for you, you should get spanked for that comment lol, this baby ain't never gettin a bath.

    How was everyone off this much? I've never had that happen.

    Without the noise on the portrait, I would have been at 66. As I said, a beautiful coin! The grade penalization for marks in prime focal areas seems to grow progressively less over time. I guess the test of the grade will be how much the coin brings when you go to sell it... ;)

    p.S. We're grading off a photo, and if the lighting exaggerates the marks........

    I own 63's with less check chatter, not sure how they can say 66 but if you like it, that's all that matters. Congrats!

    I recognized the quality of the fields and other positive attributes. I just cannot award gem status with such marks on Liberty's face.

  • DelawareDoonsDelawareDoons Posts: 3,413 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I was guessing that the toning slightly muted the luster. I guess it does not. That is one of the caveats of grading from images. Nice coin.

    Correct, the lighting is bringing up the cheek marks way worse than in hand.

    I got here too late and always guess too high so, I would have probably got it right this time. The fields do look amazing, congrats!

    I'll attempt to post some cheek scans tomm to show how it looks in hand. Then you can comment if its gem status etc.

    The disparity of grades between 64 and 66 is big. It would not have graded 66+ or get beaned altogether, based on your comment.

    I don't think I should be able to bean my own GTGs, but I'll do so: MS64+ CAC. It is a very nice coin. I'm glad you are happy with it.
    I (and for me only) attempted to respond to your how was everyone off this much question. Congratulations on your dollar and please don't take my GTG and explanation adversely.

  • TurtleCatTurtleCat Posts: 4,610 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well, this gives me hope my GSA 1881cc might hit 65 or 66. It has clean fields and the cheek only has minor abrasions. Of course I have to send it in first...

  • marcmoishmarcmoish Posts: 6,292 ✭✭✭✭✭



  • ctf_error_coinsctf_error_coins Posts: 15,433 ✭✭✭✭✭

    wow, I guessed a 66 then read the thread and thought I might be high B)
