Guess the grade on this beauty.

Funny how cameras can make some things stand out. First, the color is almost there on the photo but the coin is a slate grayish with underlying luster. Second, it looks baggy but it isn't visible to maked eye. Third the black streaks are there but not as bold as shown on the photo.

Guess the grade and does this look cleaned to you? I say cleaned a long time ago.

Edited to add pix >>>>>>>>>>>>> I give up trying to get both images to show at the same time!!

    It does look cleaned. 62/63?

    63 luster is kinda hard to tell and the color looks off, my guess would be cleaned, but thats not a series i collect, love the design and it would look better in my safe deposit box image

    Looks to be a lower end mintstate maybe 63??

    Nice coin and detail. Possibly lightly cleaned way way long ago, but nice enough to merit a pcgs slab

    I like it
  • An MS63 beauty - even if it was dipped at one point.

    This is a difficult scan because the color is off (I hope) makes it look aluminium.
    Can't judge luster on dull grey coin. Could have none or lots under toning. Well struck. See no wear. Looks dipped.
    I would have guessed if surfaces not a problem then MS 64.
    Try a second attempt at bright scan.

    I agree with everything Trime said image, except the grade. Maybe ms/64 detail wise, but obviously dipped/cleaned at one time. I'll go ms/62 on the assumption that the luster is lacking. Very well struck.

    Is the slab PCGS?...58-63.somewhere in there,from what the scan looks like to me.
  • Sorry about the images but I tried 3x to fix it and nothing doing.

    The coin is an MS63 and the strike is phenomenal, better than some 65s I have seen. Every star is perfect, not a weak one in the bunch. The reverse is almost proof like and a different look than the obverse. The color is a slate blue/gray on the obverse and white/black on the reverse. Cleaned? Yes, well maybe. Certainly not dipped but maybe wiped 50 years ago? Has just enough "skin" to make me wonder. Just got it Monday and This has become one of my favorites in my collection and I usually prefer gold!

    Look below, I tired one more time to get the rev to link>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hope it works now.


    Yes, PCGS.

  • I say ms 65.and people it is already in a PCGS slab.
