PCGS ms64 $2 1/2 with grafitti?- auction link

darktone

I just ran across this on ebay LINK. Sounds like a damaged coin to me although I don't see it in the picture. mike

oops I meant to put up a link to the whole auction. Here it is LINK

above the eye?

maybe in different light or when tilted you can see it? slab pick?

I don't know the seller of this coin but he seems to be very honest in his descriptions and has some of the best pictures I have seen in an ebay auction. mike

I don't really see any "problem" with the coin other than the fact the pic doesn't show ANY luster. And if the seller wants us to believe it is a 66 you'd better well show the luster because that will be where the difference lies.

jom, did you read the description he wrote? mike

I think this is what he is reffering to. I have highlighted the grafitti on the coin.

Here is the picture without the highlights.

DT: No, I didn't see your second link. My mistake.

I still have a hard time with photos (probably a scanner) that doesn't show the luster. If it were me and since it seems to be a "common date" I'd probably just wait to buy one at a show where I could see before I bought.

I am just kind of amazed that PCGS would grade this one. If this was not pointed out by the seller I would not have seen it from the picture.

CoinAddict, thanks for pointing it out- I saw the lower half of the circled area but the upper half did not appear on my end. mike

I adjusted the contrast a little bit and think you can see it better his way. I'm not positive though. Click this attachment which shows my version.

It's either a profile of legendary boxing promoter Don King, or a flying chicken?
