I’ll take a guess at 58 but if that’s not a rub on head, chest, leg and Eagles feathers could go 63

blitzdude

64 congrats!

MFeld

I think that if you guessed below 63, you’re grading too strictly and if you guessed above 64, you're grading too loosely.

Thanks for the laugh @MFeld Have not seen that type of guess here before.

Sure thing. You probably have seen that type of guess before, just phrased differently. 😉

Looks MS64 to me although based on a recent similar guess the grade thread it may have been given an MS66.

My first reaction was MS62... After reading @MFeld's comment, I will revise it to MS63 Cheers, RickO

My view was 64 to 64+. As it appeared nicer than a number of the coins I see. That said, I almost never look at a 1924, as they are very common and readily available. However after seeing Mark’s comment, I have a question for the board.

This is a higher mintage St Gaudens, so there are many nice examples. Does mintage impact the grade at tpg’s. For example if this exact coin was a 1914 or 1915, would the grade likely be higher. My understanding is that it really shouldn’t, but I am wondering what happens in reality?

My first thought was 63, shot at 64...

Welcome back then, 64 for me, like!

65. Fields are very clean. I personally wouldn't grade it that high, but grading services tend to be more generous with Saints.

That pretty much sums up the Saint series.

HoldTheMayo

Very nice. Too many hits to be an MS64. MS63 but it has a really nice clean face. Would definitely buy.

lkenefic

Late to the show, but I'll go with 63...

Eldorado9

64

Pumpkinhead

Assuming the luster is nice and relatively unbroken, 64+

Im losing faith in my grading from pictures after this comment. My first thought was above 64, then Cant see why its not 65 minimum and ended at ms66

I believe the coin resides in a rattler holder so I am going to guess the holder says ms65
but todays grade should be ms66

crazyhounddog

I’m thinking 63. Saints are always pretty👌

This thread, a current one on WLH, and a previous thread on $5 gold! ...even some of my own pictures of coins I'm physically holding! A lot can happen with creative use of lighting...

I've been wrong plenty of times before. And, while it looks better on my computer screen, now, than it did on my iPad very early this morning, I still can’t see a 65, much less, a 66.

asheland

It's an attractive example regardless of grade...

oreville

I was thinking 63 or 64. A large oversized photo makes the coin look worse than it is.

MarkInDavis

Nice fields, but plenty of dings on the devices. 63.

Too scared

BryceM

My first impression was 63, and usually my first impression ends up being better than my carefully calculated answer. 62 seems too harsh. 64 is possible.

BloodMan

64 in the rattler
