If the reverse is as nice:

PQ 64 or so-so 65

darktone · October 11, 2002 11:38AM

Hi Frank, Now that was a really fast guess

Is that a die crack in the hair?

Russ, NCNE

FC57Coins · October 11, 2002 11:40AM

but was it a right guess?

Russ · October 11, 2002 11:40AM

Oh yeah, I'm going AU58.

Russ, NCNE

darktone · October 11, 2002 11:41AM

No Russ that's a mark. I should have included this is a $5 liberty. mike

Cam40 · October 11, 2002 11:44AM

Got it on the first try huh.lol

Cam40 · October 11, 2002 11:46AM

No Russ.Its in a PCGS holder not a ANACS holder.

Blade · October 11, 2002 11:51AM

On a small coin like a $5, I'm going PCGS MS62. I've seen nicer designated MS63.

coppercoins · October 11, 2002 11:54AM

AU58 or MS64, depending on whether there's any unapparent wear on the highest points.

stman · October 11, 2002 12:18PM

Okay I'll say 62. If the hits in field are not deep maybe better. Now watch it's au.

stman

darktone · October 11, 2002 12:27PM

Well this would have been a nice MS64+ coin but it has a little problem not mentioned by accugrade maybe you can see it better in this photo taken from a slightly different angle.

Russ · October 11, 2002 12:31PM

Hairlines.

Russ, NCNE

darktone · October 11, 2002 12:40PM

you got it Russ. It looks like somebody wiped it once horizontally but I knew this when I bought it. It still has a good look to it. Here's a picture of the slab. mike

ACCUGRADE 64

stman · October 11, 2002 12:43PM

Tricky huh? Why didn't you post the picture that way at first?

stman

darktone · October 11, 2002 12:48PM

stman, I was trying to show how decieving a good looking picture could be. mike

DHeath · October 11, 2002 12:54PM

Mike,

Try these. You'll get a kick.

Beautiful 1964 AH Kennedy in holder (should upgrade)
Same coin out of holder under proper lighting.

darktone · October 11, 2002 1:00PM

Don from that first picture I would have to ask myself why this coin is in a 63 holder but the second one aswers that easy enough.

mike

Cam40 · October 11, 2002 6:40PM

ACG?
Thats an unusual holder.I didnt recognize it as ACG .
I cant even read the letters A C G on the slab.
Is it a glare?
Anyway.Ya.Poor coin is whizzed and wouldnt make it in a `good` holder.
....I think...maybe not.

Cam40 · October 11, 2002 7:10PM

On your `64 63CAM Don....I just noticed on the area of Kennedys neck.Its rippled and not smooth.
It looks like skin.
I noticed this also on a BU `64 half dollar business- strike I have.
This must be part of the design?
I thought it might be from a deteriorating die.That also makes the coin surface look like human skin sometimes.But I see this on your proof of the same year.
Am I the only one that sees this?

Cam40 · October 11, 2002 7:16PM

Uh oh Don...you just highjacked darktones thread.....(points finger at......the coin showing breasticles)

DHeath · October 11, 2002 9:25PM

Cam, I agree, it does look more like folded skin, and is part of the design. I also agree that I accidentally hijacked the thread. My bad.....

dorkkarl · October 11, 2002 9:32PM

on that 2d kennedy digipic, was it the lighting, or the resolution that made the difference?

K S

darktone · October 11, 2002 9:38PM

Don, I don't think you hi-jacked the thread at all

. Your coin pictures are exactly what I was trying to show in my pictures. Mike

Russ · October 12, 2002 12:34AM

Don,

Did I remember to thank you for out-bidding me on that coin?

Karl,

My guess is that on the 2nd pic it's the angle that made the difference. Very difficult to see hairlines in a straight on shot.

Russ, NCNE

Here's a quick guess the grade
