GUESS THE GRADE 1909 $2.5 Indian [you vs. Pcgs]

Smudge · February 2, 2021 9:46AM

Edit to 65. Too big a price jump. Looks 66 but my guess is 65.

Cocoinut · February 2, 2021 10:12AM

An easy 65 or better. Fields are clean. A no-brainer for a 65 with a CAC sticker.

CoinJunkie · February 2, 2021 10:15AM

The hit to the cheek probably caps it at 65. Your $5 Indian was a 65+, so maybe this one is too?

PTVETTER · February 2, 2021 10:25AM

65 my guess for PCGS

Thet was also a 2.5 indian 1908 instead of 1909

marcmoish · February 2, 2021 10:50AM

I'm at 65 too

PerryHall · February 2, 2021 11:17AM

MS65 sounds about right unless there are scuffs or hairlines that aren't showing up in the pics.

asheland · February 2, 2021 11:23AM

Good guesses, I too am at 65. Excellent looking example!

jesbroken · February 2, 2021 11:29AM

I think this to be worthy of a 65+. Beautiful coin.
Jim

Coinscratch · February 2, 2021 11:30AM

65
Edit: I would’ve guessed 66 though.

AU58 (cause minor wear bottom right of field on rev) or MS65

messydesk · February 2, 2021 12:01PM

No wear, attractive luster, few marks, all minor.

Jimnight · February 2, 2021 12:08PM

64.

ThreeCentSilverFL · February 2, 2021 2:06PM

I don't know, I can't grade those but I like the look of that one. So, thanks for sharing!

Ain't no way that coin goes AU anything

MsMorrisine · February 2, 2021 3:21PM

no more than a 66

no less than a 65

?

MsMorrisine · February 2, 2021 3:48PM

I'm calling this a hit and not a scratch

JonBrand83 · February 2, 2021 4:06PM

MsMorrisine · February 2, 2021 4:08PM

nice pics btw.

I vote hit.

Pedzola · February 2, 2021 4:10PM

A very nice 65.

ponderit · February 2, 2021 4:16PM

I'm going with the 66 crowd, that's a very nice coin, and pics.

Cougar1978 · February 2, 2021 4:19PM

mannie gray · February 2, 2021 4:47PM

65+/66
Gorgeous coin.

Unlikely but possible. This could be percived as wear.

koynekwest · February 2, 2021 5:09PM

The 65 crowd for me.

Eldorado9 · February 2, 2021 5:30PM

Could this be an AU-58? It's a really nice coin regardless. I'll go against the grain and say AU-58+ If it's deemed uncirculated, then 65.

Flatwoods · February 2, 2021 5:31PM

when I looked at the pics my mind immediately said 66.

pursuitofliberty · February 2, 2021 6:14PM

My mind says 66 also

Of course, my mind is questionable. Two brain cells left, one's lost, the other is trying to find him!

pursuitofliberty · February 2, 2021 6:14PM

Lovely coin BTW

tradedollarnut · February 2, 2021 6:21PM

The fields are weird

MsMorrisine · February 2, 2021 6:24PM

i'm down to 65

JonBrand83 · February 2, 2021 7:43PM

You guys were pretty good here. I dont see any rub in some of those said areas. The only two marks are these. Everything else virtually flawless with no breaks, fading or change in color in the luster. I have trouble deciding what grade this coin is. Its sort of between 65 and 66. I think perhaps a nice 65+. I think those little lines are hits but they are barely an issue in person. But under the loop they are definately there.

Very nice. The TV causes me to ask is there clash on the rev between the eagles legs? Peace Roy

logger7 · February 3, 2021 4:41AM

Nice coin and grades plus cac. My impression from the pics was that it was not totally original.

ricko · February 3, 2021 6:17AM

Late to the game...but I did guess 65... as did the majority. Nice coin indeed. Cheers, RickO

BryceM · February 3, 2021 7:21AM

Really nice coin.

Just FYI, people can figure out the assigned grade if you show the barcode in your photos.

marcmoish · February 3, 2021 8:28AM

do we get a prize?
@asheland and I?
We both agreed with @Cocoinut nut, who hit it on the nail.

Be pretty strange for a coin to wear like that, no?

I did it the old fashioned way and just found it in Coinfacts. That TV looks slightly different in shade but the not so obvious scars are there. Beautiful coin.

Thanks. Should be the same color as i didnt change it but maybe this site did something to the upload. Who knows! I didn't notice it but will take your word. Im trying to figure out of theres an easy way to post videos to show luster.

asheland · February 3, 2021 10:01AM

A beautiful coin for sure!

No, it was me. There is another one with a scar on the cheek that is darker. I was confused.
I heard you can make YouTube videos that will post here though I haven't yet tried it.

Swampboy · February 3, 2021 10:03AM

I thought 64 so I'm with @Jimnight and @abcde12345

If you post the video on Instagram, you can copy the link into a message here and it will work.

I did it the really old-fashioned way and played the game straight up.

Sorry, youtube is not showing the best quality/resolution. The original on my phone is much more crisp.
