Grades - Pictures - Ugly Kennedys - Guess Grade IKE

Lori

Lets have some fun! Things have gotten dull around here.

I'll post pictures when I get the coins back in a few days.
1887 - Morgan w color MS63
1964 - Kennedy toned w some color - PR66
1961 - Franklin - Had a rainbow spot - PR64


1978d - Penney MS66 Red - Had some color toning on it
1893 Columbian - EF45 - Cleaned (not artifically toned)



1889 Morgan - Artificially Toned MS60



Now here is the guess the grade. Not the same coin posted yesterday. I will say it was graded by ANACS and was raw when I sent it in.


Lori

Oh, here are my two new Ugly Kennedys. I have quite the collection already.

Lori,

Can you clarify? The ones that have grades posted (IE: The Columbian and the Morgan) is that a grading service result? If so, were they bagged or slabbed?

ANACS slabs coins no matter what. So they will be slabbed but with the info on the slab. When I called for the grades that is what they told me. I have a Peace I sent in to them and they put all this info on it: EF Details NET VF30 CLEANED - RETONED. That is why I like ANACS, even if your coin has problems it will still get slabbed with the info of why the coin has a problem written on the slab too.

Have you been digging through Marty's trunk with him? These require some thought, so leave Marty out and I'll work on it for awhile!

Lori - my guess PF66 CAM

is that your picture, or from the auction - the reason I ask is I think I bid on a picture like that but stopped when I could not decide how much color was on the coin and how much was the reflection of the photographer?


ANACS does not slab anything - I have gotten bodybags from them - PVC contamination, die struck copy.

They do NET grade problem coins as long as authentic.

I have a `71 S Proof Ike,in the simulated woodgrain slipout box, with identical toning as your `74.The obverse has the periphery toning where the reverse has none to speak of.
I wanted to show mine as well but my camera doesnt capture the colors too well,so I tossed that idea out.

I noticed the plastic Mint holder wasnt sealed at all and I can open it without any difficults.The outside air seems to have no problem coming in contact with the obverse.The reverse in better protected as in sits deep in the holder.

Grade on your `74? Depends if the graders are going to see the toning as a plus or as a neutral.
Not sure on that part of the eye-appeal issue.

PR-66?The mark on the neck may keep it from a DCAM.And I see a spot in the field behind the neck.
What grade it gets depends on who grades it....AGC PR 68 DCAM?

It's amazing that when you "guys" do guess the grades you get lots of responses but everytime I do one or ask opinions I get like 3 responses. Is it a girl thing? Anyway for those of you that "played" here is the answer.

The picture of the Ike is not mine but the auction picture. The coin looks just like that though.

ANACS graded it PR 67 Cameo.

Not to bad for a $6 coin.

The picture looks just like the coin?

I thought I could see fingers on the top half and a big lense around the middle - must be a cool coin - i shoulda bid - or bid more.

I like the Ike. Very interesting!

(Wasn't there a commercial sometime back about "I'd like to be like Ike..." )
