Just got this in the mail a couple of hours ago. What do you think? mike

Beautiful! MS65-66?

Loki · January 15, 2003 7:24AM

MS64 ... Not enough flash in the luster combined with an average strike on obverse will not merit a 65 imo. Is it raw?

darktone · January 15, 2003 7:28AM

Loki, yes it is raw but I put it in a capitol holder right away. It does have excellent luster in person. mike

I think it has a shot at a 65 grade. It looks very clean.

dan1ecu · January 15, 2003 8:42AM

So, darktone, what is the grade???

MrKelso · January 15, 2003 9:11AM

Other then a tad of activity in the field to the rear of the neck as i am seeing it on my end, This is a nice Piece of GOLD.
MS65 is it has more luster then what is showing other wise MS64

With the usual disclaimer, the coin has nice luster and great color...too many field hits to go MS65. Its a great coin that should go 64.

MS-65.... Were do You get all these babies DT?

marcmoish · January 15, 2003 10:17AM

word for word as COINKAT, def a 64!! Would not and should not grade higher ...IMHO

KlectorKid, sorry but I can't reveal my sources or there would be no coins left for me

.

dan1ecu, it's not certified but I am thinking ms64. I have been waiting until I get five gold coins before I submit them but maybe I will send this one in sooner. mike

marcmoish · January 15, 2003 11:11AM

good idea, for interest sake would you post the resulting grade when you get it back to this thread, makes interesting lessons for all.....
Good Luck

Marc, yes I will post the grade when I get it but it might be a while. mike

MS-64

What did you consider it to be when you purchased it? or what was it advertised as?

darktone · January 15, 2003 11:45AM

I bought it in an auction with no grade described.
