No it's not mine.

No picture, red X.

Sorry, you have not got a large picture. It's an itty-bitty red X.

A little off topic but...... Cool sig picture. It looks like San Francisco. Where did you get it?

Go here, and hope you have a high speed connection, you will need it to really get around.

Wow, good guess, it's a picture of the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition.

I'd say MS-63. There would seem to be a fairly strong mark on Ms. Liberty's cheek that would preclude any higher grade.

I say MS 63; nice coin but a few too many marks on the cheek to rate higher. But then again, I am usually wrong on grades.

I don't know about the toning, but the way PCGS has been grading CCs lately, I'll say 64.

As said already, the mark pecludes higher than 63, but I'd value as a 61+ because the strike is very weak for the date/mm

and the toning is in my opinion rather splochy and unattractive.

Neat Die clash on reverse. The "I" can be seen between the E in one, and D in dollar...

MS64

mgoodm3 · January 10, 2005 6:57AM

I like the 64 theory.

Betta285 · January 10, 2005 7:28AM

64

Yeah, nice clash... I noticed it next to the D on the left of "Dollar" too.

Hope this is not a stupid Q and I'm Not EVEN trying to b a SA but I want to know how a person can even start to give a grade to a coin based on such a large pic. Can anyone help me to know what to look for other than obvious...nicks, scratches, and bagmarks?
Then that would bring another Q....how would you judge the size of the said marks?
Thx, as usual

Well nobody guessed it, it's in PCGS MS 65 plastic (note that I don't agree with the grade either; I think it's a low end 64.)
