    MS64
    They seem to be kinda easy on the 14-S for some reason.
    I'd give it a MS63+

    64+ with a bean or 65 without. Clean obv fields, Marks on the lady's leg might get by; the apparent scuff on the sun and the two longer (non-lustre breaking) marks on the bird's belly, not so much

    We’ve had a few sweet saints come through lately.

    I got this one from him a few weeks ago:

    Yours is a nice looking coin. Tomaszka was just peddling '14-S DEs in MS-64 for $3575 earlier today on one of the cable networks... unfortunate.

    Got Crust....y gold?

    I'll sell him mine for $2500. That'll give him a nice profit.

    That sounds right. I thought he sent one of them to you. 👍

    I was thinking of getting the 1907 MS65 but Kelly put an end to that very quickly.

    That 65 was sweet. It actually sold yesterday.
    I almost got it myself.

    Are you certain those are the same coin?
    That's an amazingly optimistic TV of a cleaned coin that seems miraculously to have retained the granular texture often see on the date and, even more happily, some lovely original color.

    Based on the corrected(?) image and slab grade, I would like to downgrade my appraisal of the coin from 64+ to $1875 worth of pretty crap. If it's actually as bright as in the slab picture, make that $1865

    GIGO - Based on two crappy images, any comments I've made on the thread should also be considered crap.

    An 08-Motto in MS64 is $5500 & a + will get you $7250
    I'd be tempted to send that one back for a recon. since it has a bean.

    From my research, it's a scarce coin in this grade, and 65's are even tougher.

    I still like the 14-S.

    FWIW, I've had several Saints I've sent in that got a "cleaned" designation that graded 64 on a second submission.

    Went to a coin show last week and showed it to a dealer. He didn't think it was cleaned and suggested NGC. Not sure if it's worth the $50+ it'll cost to send in.

    The smart thing to do monetarily is usually to hold off on sending it back in if you're going to keep the coin. But I like to prove the point that I don't think it's cleaned, if only to myself, so I usually send mine back in if I think the grading service got it wrong.
