I think this coin was posted before. It is sharply struck and quite attractive. I recall there was even a discussion as to whether it was a proof, based on the strike. The scans are too small in terms of assigning an accurate grade for this coin.

Assist to John and Bea!

I think it has hairlines so I'm going to buck the trend and say MS-63. Just a WAG for the most part but I enjoy rocking the boat.

jonesy

With all the stars sharp and complete, May I dare say 65!!

JOHNandBEA

Hi Jonsey.......how do you do that?


John

JOHNandBEA

Pcgs gave it an AU58.............


John

Jonesy ..sorry for the misspelling..

jonesy

You're kidding!!
What was their reason?

JOHNandBEA

They never said.............can I find out?

This is a tough call and I would rather see the the instead of relying on a scan. I think it is possible that it is a Proof based on the strike, I will offer a thought that is more of a guess than an opinion PR 66. It is mostlikely incorrect.

In any event, I hope that you are happy with the grade.

jonesy

Did you look at the results posted on the PCGS website?

jdimmick

Damn,

There must just be the slightest friction of circualtion that does not show up in the photo. This is a prime example where trying to grade by a photo will get you in trouble. You would have to have this coin in hand to properly grade, cause it looks mintstate from the photo.

JOHNandBEA

By invoice it just gave the 4 results.........

John

Well, grading scans and not coins can be a tough business...Sorry for the optimistic thought.

Grader must of had a bad day

au58.........i say this because, for some reason it appears to be somewhat off color, with hairlines, which leaves me to beleive it has been dipped, and cleaned....it does have a great strike..overall a nice circulated example...............post the grade............

JOHNandBEA

yes...........AU58................

AU58 but it has the eye appeal of a higher graded coin. mike

JOHNandBEA

I love the coin, one of my first purchases (bid).....the results took my wind away though...

Walker that was "cleaned"
1926 LG cent......."altered surfaces"
1927 Lg cent ......VF30
1906 5C..............au58

I've got a wee bit of learning to go
