    I doubt that anyone will ever guess the assigned grade exactly right. But nobody has come close enough yet to declare a winner. So anyone who hasn't guessed yet - take a shot.

    Ok, I will declare @Clackamas1 the winner.

    This is something that has not been posted in this thread previously (as far as a I know).
    It is an old ANACS photo certificate. Each side of the coin was graded independently.
    So the (unlikely) 100% correct answer would have been "AU55/55".
    But "55" is also acceptable ;)

    You won't believe this but I happened to have out my 1921 and it is exactly what you have ANACS old photo grade in the exact same grade. I compared it to your pick and said 55 because they look the same.

    @Rc5280: “correct” sort of. Decision was reached some weeks ago by the thread participants to indicate MS or PR in front of the grade #. As this one’s a pretty obvious MS, you’re up!

    Thanks. Yes, it was an MS Rosie to me. It's a nice one too!

    This next coin was in a batch of ungraded CC GSA's that I recently sent to our hosts.
    Unlike another batch that I sent to CACG recently, this group(3) was submitted for GSA crackout grading due to damaged GSA cases/plastic - except for this one below.

    I had requested that they slab it up in a Gold Shield std holder with the Reverse up / Reverse showing on label side.

    I wonder what it would grade if it were in the old "ANACS photograde" that @dcarr & @Clackamas1 had talked about yesterday!?
    It' a tale of two coins - Bigtime. ⇊ What's your 'combined' grade?...

    Nope.

    Here is a photo of the coin while still in the GSA case. Taken before it was sent in.

    Bingo!

    I get it with a 63 for the obverse. The face is fairly dinged up, and that gouge/scratch at the base of the nose is tough.
    But it seems that the reverse was left out? A plus(+) sure would've helped, so be it.

    I don't have it yet, the grade & image just popped, so here's the cert page and face zoom ⇊
    @dcarr you're up!

    I'm running out of slabbed coin pictures ;)
    I've posted this one before (not recently).
    If you already know, please let some people guess first.
