(scuffed holder between 7th & 8th feather)

Its RD

Face hits hold it back bigtime.

Can see some chatter in the field.

Id say 63RD

Added; The grading services might go as low as AU if that looks like bigtime rub, but if so Id send it back.

MS64...maybe MS65 Red is my guess.......I see a few marks on the face......may not be enough to really knock it down a lot as the rest of the coin looks pretty choice.

CalGold · August 20, 2004 8:13AM

The image looks like a DDR.

MS64 rb

MS-64RD Very nice Indian.

tjkillian · August 20, 2004 8:26AM

Still a nice indian cent. Either a PQ MS-64 or a low end MS-65.

You guys are pretty generous. I've had IHs with less face hits than that which graded 63-4. No way is that gonna make 65. The reverse is real PQ but thats only about 20% of the grade (unless it has a problem)

64rd

I agree with the majority, MS-64RD.

Baley · August 20, 2004 8:45AM

MS64.75 and 97% red nice coin that just misses 65 IMO, the marks don't look too severe for 65 but their placement is unfortunate.
Move them to the periphery of the obv or rev, and it's a choice 65/66, super look to the fields and outstanding luster.

darktone · August 20, 2004 8:48AM

MS62 RB

coinbuf · August 20, 2004 8:59AM

Looks like MS63/64RD and DDR Pretty!

Numismanic · August 20, 2004 9:52AM

MS63 RD

lordmarcovan · August 20, 2004 11:02AM

64 RD

(Might go 63 or RB on a bad day? But only on a bad day. Looks 64 and RD to me.)

Now grade mine!

Jamericon · August 20, 2004 11:35AM

MS64 RB.

coynclecter · August 20, 2004 12:06PM

C'mon shylock, Don't leave us hanging forever.

ziggy29 · August 20, 2004 12:10PM

I'm saying 64RD, but both the 64 and the RD are slightly weak. Neither 63RD nor 64RB would shock me. Worst case, 63RB, but it's a super-choice 63RB worth a considerable "premium" if so.

shylock · August 20, 2004 12:34PM

It's in a PCGS MS65RD holder and was offered at a PQ price by a major dealer. I returned it (about 6 months ago) because of the contact on the lower obverse -- the reverse is borderline MS67 and the strike and color are beautiful.

toothpuller · August 20, 2004 8:34PM

Just caught this one. You guys are some tough graders. It's important to understand that Shylock's picture is really large and of very high quality and if that coin was on ebay or elsewhere those facial hits would not even be visible.

I've seen plenty of worse IHCs in 66 holders. As its a common date a better 65RD can surely be found, but if it was a rarer date I would be glad to own it as a 65 [at the right price].

IrishMike · August 20, 2004 8:38PM

I missed it too. I love the reverse on this coin. The grade looks correct to me based upon comparing it to my collection of 64 reds. Toothpuller I think your comments are right on.

darktone · August 20, 2004 9:06PM

My grade was based on the fact that it looks like it had been worked on in the obverse field in front of liberty. mike

Nice coin. Didn't get a chance to guess since I'm out of country. The large pics magnify even tiny flaws. Have seen worse looking PCGS 66R coins. Couldn't argue with 65R on this one as everything else is VERY pleasing.
