I'll make this multiple choice. Please provide comments as to why you select what PCGS grade this coin should be:

  • MS66FS
  • MS66+FS
  • MS67FS
  • MS67+FS
  • MS68FS

For max size, right click --> open in new tab.

    I’ll say 67 FS. I have several ‘41-D’s and they surely come nicely struck with full steps. Bottom step is either way, but I’ll still go full.

    MS66FS, I think the marks behind the head and on the collar might prevent the 67 grade. Nice coin.

    66FS, based on my first impression when I looked at the coin

    66+FS. Nice one! A little “noise” around the collar & the bottom step, but think I might be a little low - playing it “safe”.

    Those come really nice, and the marks on the steps bother me a little, so I will guess on the low end and say MS66FS.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    If I were judging from this photo alone I would call it AU, and it doesn't qualify for FS imo. However, as that is not one of your options I will guess that it is market graded P67+FS.

    Aside from the soft strike, flat looking ear and hair details, there's a heavy mark above the eye. The luster looks outstanding but that's really all the coin has going for it. It's a low quality example for this date that can commonly be found with an EDS strike and 6 steps.

    Thanks for your comments.
    The picture isn't the best. The mark above the eye is barely noticeable in hand and I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it. There is a cut in the field in front of the chin that isn't that visible. That is the only notable mark on the obv in my opinion.

    Oh, and one more bit of info: It has a QA sticker.

    MS67+. The fields are extremely clean.

    Looks better in that pic. Looks a bit PL. A True View, $5 I think, sometimes will show the details which should be the main focal to a photo of a coin but they don't prioritize that quality.

    OK, here it is...

    ---- REVEAL

    MS67!

    I was looking at it and even though it has a blue label (meaning graded fairly recently) I wonder if it might be good for a + if resubmitted? Guide price goes from $175 to $700 so the upside is there.

    New question: If you were to submit this for regrade, would you do it under Economy (for coins $300 and less) or Regular (for coins $2500 and less)?

    Note that the slab has scratches so that's why it doesn't look as great in this pic. Another reason to submit for regrade is to get a new holder and TV.

    To be honest I don't see it as a FS example, just MHO.
