That Saint I bought for that lady to give to her friend

Is this one:




I looked through about 50 coins at the show and thought that the 62 / 63 / 64 distinction was pretty much a crapshoot. Some 64s had fewer marks, but the marks they had were bigger or deeper. An equal but small percentager of all grades seemed to be slightly off in color.

My conclusion is I'm glad I don't grade these for a living.

It doesn't look expensive enough. Try reshooting it an angle.

Nice Saint. Looks good enough to qualify as a 66 today. Lucky Lady.

Thats why I hired the Belgian hand model Russ.

Appears to be a solid 63 coin. How did you do budget wise?

I think it could certainly have been a 64 if some of the others I saw were 64s. Plus I figured the green holder might make someone somewhere believe that it was undergraded years ago.

But I'm not going to try it -

Based on the obv photo provided the coin is almost certainly undergraded as a 63. There are plenty of worthy older holdered coins still out there that are undergraded. Unless the reverse of the coin is hacked up (photo too fuzzy to tell) this appears to be a 64 or better coin to me.

If this coin were presented on ebay with that obv photo, it would certainly reach a very strong 63 price.
