    Fly Too High - The prize is getting to eat pine cones with the bear. Now isnt that a snazzy contest gift. Its a bit like having lunch with the president of the local Rotary Club. Bear

    I hear ya Bear! Our pine cones down here in Texas are so big we peel off the scales and carve canoes out of the husks! They're tooooo big to eat! So, if I win, I guess the California variety of pine cones will be the grub? image

    OK, Sadysta1 said my guesses were all wrong (I PM'd them).

    1. - MS 65 RD
    2. - MS 64
    3. - EF 40

    NOPE
  • DHeathDHeath Posts: 8,472 ✭✭✭
    Just my guesses,

    MS64 RD
    AU58
    EF40

    IMHO the rub on the left wing of the SMS quarter and the flat top curl probably happened in the holder, but cost it points anyway.

    Fly I think you are asking is it SMS or regular strike?

    It's a regular strike I pulled out of damaged mint set.

    I cant market grade,so I,ll say what technical grade I think they are.

    1975 D 1c...DDR?..questionable toneing?guess not.its slabbed.MS 64
    1967 25c...MS64
    1876 $1...VF35

    BTW I havent looked at others guesses this time.Wonder how I stack-up ........

    I see there are already lots of replies, however, I didn't read them so that I wouldn't be swayed by them. I grade the coins as follows-
    1-MS64RB
    2-MS66
    3-VF30
    I don't ever grade Trade dollars so I would assume I could be very far off on this one. Hopefully, I will be closer on the others.

  • DHeathDHeath Posts: 8,472 ✭✭✭
    Tom,

    What do you think the mark below does to the grade? Would it be pretty much ignored on a PQ coin?

  • Cam40Cam40 Posts: 8,146 ✭
    I think Toms`alot closer on the 25c than me.I see it as a weak strike(64),but its PQ so,market gradeing probly says is 66-67.?

    FTH-I understood they all were slabbed.Maybe I worded my last reply oddly,and took it as Just the Lincoln was Slabbed...uh Oh .I,m Turning into Fairlainman...image
  • PlacidPlacid Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭
    If you look back you can tell the quarter is graded MS66 that was already given away.

    No problem, I just read it again. Missed the period. What happens when someone turns into Fairlainman??

    The toning on the Lincoln cent makes it appear RB to me.

    Really,I,d think if raw(1c),it would be BB`d for AT or something.But does it look like doubling on the ONE CENT area?Maybe an illusion.
  • Dog97Dog97 Posts: 7,874 ✭✭✭
    Question on the Lincoln everybody is calling gem: Abe's got some major hits............
    I think goose3 is right.

    the are on the coin you magnified is raised; it's not a cut; it's an extra small piece of metal that got stuck. Quarter has two small scratches on the eagle's leg and one by Wash. nose.

    Gradres are 1967 quarter is MS66 (this coin is not SMS!!!!)
    T$ is 1876-CC VF30 Doubled Die Reverse (noted on the holder)
    Cent is MS63RB (a little dissapointing but I like the color
  • Dog97Dog97 Posts: 7,874 ✭✭✭
    Hmmmm....I missed them all by one grade. You need to post better scans that we can grade from! image

  • Cam40Cam40 Posts: 8,146 ✭
    I knew Tom was right on the quarter.But hey,In MY book ,a weak strike like that only deserves a 64.Is there a big market for gem 1967s?
    I was right about the DDR,except it was the wrong coin.image
