First generation PCGS holder, MS64. Definitely a 65 in my opinion. The fields a luster are as good as they come. Not worth the regrade though.

MS-64?

The obverse luster has 66 written all over it.

MS65 only because the obv and rev rim looks a little dinged up.

Those aren't dings. Those are in the holder to keep the coin from moving around. That should give a hint as to what generation the holder is.

Yes I know what those are, I am not refering to those.
Look at the obverse rim at about K1 to K2. Look at the reverse rim at K7.

Looks like 65 to me but I've never been able to grade these.

Sorry. I see them. They are tiny, and greatly enhanced by the photo. I actually didn't see them until I took the picture.

From the images, at least, it looks like a 66. And, while it might grade lower, with what we have to go on, 64 seems way too tight, and 65 somewhat so.

Edited to add: When grading coins, start at 70 and go backwards from there. Ask yourself what about this coin causes you to knock off 5 or 6 points? A few tiny imperfections which have been greatly magnified shouldn't account for that many grade deductions.

Those are very large images Bilkingnut. I believe I am quilty of micrograding.

I would say the coin is an MS66, but since it is in a rattler holder, i'll stick to my MS65 on the label.

Gee, I'm somewhat pleased with myself. I figured 66 before I even got to Mark's post ...

PCGS MS64 first generation holder.

Your choice ... regrade or crrraaackkkk!

I would crack that thing out so fast it would make your head spin. That's got to be at least a 5.

I don't think the price difference between a 64 and 65 justifies the grading fee. I may send it in on a freebie though. It's a definite 65, probably high end, but I don't think it will make 66.

K6AZ · December 28, 2004 12:55PM

I'm not to up to date on Washington prices, I know there is an early 40s S mint that is expensive in thoses grades, must be the 40-S or 41-S then.

Bikingnut · December 28, 2004 12:57PM

That would be the 42S.
