To GSAGUY; Hmmh, I never knew that. I guess my oldman hit it big when he purchased his commons back in 72, all of'em er uncirculated S.D. slabbed. In fact, I just sent one of his 84's to PCGS for grading, can't wait to see what they give it.
What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?
I think a lot of people see a scan blown up 10x the size of the actual coin, see a couple ticks and call them big gouges. I've seen NGC grade ones in the GSA holder with much more chatter than this one at 64. I believe I sold you one Gsaguy. I wouldn't doubt NGC could 65 this one. I don't feel it's 65 but I would go along with a lock 64.

65 on this one. I agree that much leeway is given to the CCs in the bag mark department. For good reason too. They were transported by covered wagon after all. So as far as CC dollars go, this one is actually very clean IMO.
Your coin is in much better condition than my PCGS MS64 DMPL. It has no chance whatsoever for MS66. This leaves the only possible grade as MS65. Of course, I could, theoretically, have the worst 64 in the world, and you could have the best, but that seems rather unlikely.
Ya just never know! My theory is, it all depends on what type of locoweed the graders are smokin' on a particular day ones coin goes to the grading room. Merely a theory!...

Nice CC.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Of course, my opinon may be biased since I charged Clw $3,500 for the piece.

The scanner didn't capture it.

I saw it on the open forum. Looked the same there.
Got quoins?

I agree fully. I told Clw that when he posted a pic he'd get guesses from 63 to 65.
At LB I had the opportunity to look at a lot of NGC certified GSA's. I was amazed at just how baggy a CC can be and still get an MS64 designation.

BTW, that coin has an above average strike, not fully struck though. With the superior eye appeal, I gave it a solid 65.

you got a big coin.
Those who grade it 65, I'll pay twice bid for all your 65's that look like this coin.
A little stronger luster and I make it a 67 for sure.
