    Nice looking coin... not sure if that is rim damage over 'statehood' or a planchet defect. Cheers, RickO

    Is this the critique-another’s-guess-while-still-not-guessing-yourself thread? Cool. .... just did that, too.

    Yup, the pictures aren't sharp enough to come much closer than a couple of grades at best.

    OK so the grade is MS-63! Coin is super clean with great luster. Dont understand the grade but ill take advantage of it since i got the coin for $90

    Did you check to see what a 66 would have cost you?

    It could be the lighting, but the luster looks subdued, not bright/great.

    Trust me the coin has terrific luster. It really popped when i saw it in the dealers case

    I know the prices are tight on these from grade to grade. I bought the coin not the holder and dont see how even a 66 could be much better if at all than this coin

    I’l give the benefit of the doubt to the sight seen opinion of PCGS. Chances are that you’re missing a problem - perhaps a light cleaning or wipe.

    I dont play the CAC game but yeah it sure seems undergraded to me

    For what purpose? It’s extremely unlikely that a sticker would add value equal to submission and postage costs. And even in the unlikely event that the coin were to be awarded a gold sticker, there’s only minimal difference in value between grades 63 and (as high as) MS66.

    Hes already into for a hefty sum and if hes keeping theres not reason not to have you seen what other graded 63s look like? Just complete blah...

    Late again! I was gonna say 64+/65

  • jmski52jmski52 Posts: 22,118 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It could be the lighting, but the luster looks subdued, not bright/great.

    I may be wrong, but the Iowa coins I've seen all seemed to have a softer luster.

    Not like the one in this thread. It appears that the lighting is off, the coin is atypically lackluster and/or has another issue (such as cleaning) or both.

    Apologies for piling on, but ... based on the photo, it looks like a nice example of a 63 Iowa. It seems to have the monochrome look of a dipped coin, which likely limits the grade. The images provided on CoinFacts are very instructive. Going by photos alone, the white 64s retain quite a lot of character compared to the OP coin, for example:

    @ScarsdaleCoin said "Should have just bought this one".

    Would you have accepted $ 90 for that one? :D I think that's what @stockdude_ paid for his.

    The OP stated that the coin is graded 63.
