::GRADE REVEALED:: A PCGS Eveningly Worn Circulated 1921 Missouri Commemorative. Guess the Grade.

braddick

No tricks or gimmicks. I think the PCGS grade is accurate. How would you grade this one?



I'll reveal the full slab a little later on. . .

You guys are good! Especially Flamingo who got it right out of the gate.

<< <i>Eveningly Worn >>


Does this mean all the wear occurred at night? Do I want to know how? No!

I'd guess VF20.

I don't normally look at circulated Classic Commems. This one I would guess is VF20.

Do people actually collect such circulated Classic Commems? I know that some collect the LOWEST PCGS graded ones, but this one looks to be too high grade for those collectors. Maybe not.

Nice look to it.

Nice looking coin. Almost looks like a medal.

Hold on while I check my classic commem grading book....

Now where did I put that thing....

Wait....

Oh, I forgot, there isn't one.

Ok, off the cuff I would say around VF30.

You guys are pretty dang good! (I'll post the full holder soon. . .)

I came across this coin about 20 years ago and had it holdered sometime in 1990 or so. It has the most smooth, even (eveningly!! ) dove gray/brown tone to it with really, no marks.
I just liked the "look", even back then- and before I started to chase after extra super low grade problem free early Commemoratives.


I'd be afraid to discover these are probably not collectible within the grade but it captivated me- so good enough.

I have a Missouri 2 X 4 graded VF-30 by PCGS. It has a lot more wear than this one. It has more than half of the powder horn and bag worn off. The ear on the obverse is almost all gone. I really thought that mine would grade much lower. When you want a low grade you just can't get it. I would say this one would be 40 or 45 compared to mine.

I have got to get a digital camera and post the difference between these two. It's unreal.

W/out looking or knowing the series, VF-25.

I'd love to see how PCGS grades today one of these in VF30 vs 15 or so years ago.

Nice coin, Braddick! I've thought many times that I would love to put together a 50-pc set in VF/XF
with nice, even wear and color - maybe I should get started on that, as I know some pieces
would be tough to find and that project would take awhile!

Sticking with only PCGS graded Classic Commems will make it a hundred times more difficult. Those few collectors doing the PCGS registry AT THE LOWEST GRADES AVAILABLE have certainly got their work cut out for them. Take a look at the registry. It will be worth your time.

I picked up a MS blue and gold rim toned non 2X4 at the last Anahiem show for $300 from some old couple. They are dealers and had the coin with a TYPED card! It looked like it had been priced ten years ago...I think that was a rip. I am waiting for a Nikon 950 I sniped on ebay for $53 and I will try to post a pic in the near future. I need 18 more to finish my 7094. I still kick myself for not buying this one! Take care, SoCalBigMark
