I've never been a particular fan of this portrait, but this coin has the look.

You can try guessing the grade if you want, it hasn't been posted yet.

    That damn nick at eleven o'clock will cost it, and I think I'm responsible for it. image


    But the PCGS holder in particular, has a way of hiding such small nicks, despite its transparency, only the submitter and the graders know about it at the end. image

    No Larry, I was drinking Famous Grouse in Chicago, remember? image


    But for numismatic standards, I'm very clumpsy, than god for slabs. I now have a black velvet jewler's tray to avoid future such accidents.

    Och, Famous Grouse? imageimageimage


    P.S. You can't accurately grade an image!! imageimage

    MacCrimmon if this grades 58 you're in trouble. You know what lovely sharp BU with exceptional toning refers to in Karl's list, don't you? image

    Nice original coin (I don't like that portrait either)!

    attractive and looks original... the surfaces are clean. I think it is a 64 minimum, however, if I saw it in hand, a higher grade may likely be warranted based upon the quality of the surfaces

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
