So Roosie Folks.....

Fairlaneman

Is this coin any good or do the skills still need some help ? At least I found one in Portland that was liked. Actually I bought 4 of these a Washington and a Merc today. By far the best Raw coin day in a couple of years.

I know, I never say anything nice....Regretfully, think it is a low end 65...the tick on the jaw is apparent. You can do much better.

Datentype

Uperr left field makes it a 63 or 64

Strike wise is this what is needed or does it need to be stronger ? This was the best struck one the coin shop had. Also does the lower band have to be split ? All seemed real weak to me.

Thanks Guys.

Strike is weak. Strike wise its a 65/66. I grade the coin MS65

In my limited experience with PCGs grading my Roosies, the hits that are easily seen by the eye are killers as far as getting a good grade... I have found that you either need some awesome toning or a strong blast white hit free coin for ms66 ms67 status..

this one looks like some of my ms64 jobs....

a nice coin but not worth submitting in my opinion..

"You can find a better one" Glen in Coin Starved Oregon...thats a Big Chore.

Looks like it is back to the drawing board on these for me. I'll keep looking though.

I like the originality. If the line between the portrait is a toning streak and not a scrape, I think it would grade 65, or possibly 66 if the luster is better than appears in the image. Definite not FB.
