    I do not understand the grade of MS61DMPL either. I thought 63. There are some hairlines but this is common on DMPL's.

    61???????? your kidding right?
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    That is a nice image of what appears to be a nice coin. The somewhat low resolution on the 550x278 pixel image that you first posted did not show enough detail to allow any reasonable guess as to the grade. It would be completely miguided to attempt to grade the coin based on that image. The larger 1100x505 image that you have now posted certainly offer much better detail, and that enables us to judge the coin more accurately. PCGS offers giant 4400x2200 pixel images on CD as well. The latter very large images are the only ones I have seen that are truly good enough to grade from. They are available from PCGS for an extra fee.

  • I think that is awful low as well, if thats a 61 heck I think all of mine are overgraded. Maybe its the opposite of my wife and photographs well

    61 sounds fair to me. Except the eye appeal is above average for the grade.

    Sometimes you get lucky and buy a coin that is graded low for some specific reason, but otherwise has the quality and appearance of a hgher grade. In such cases, you should be thankful that the grade is low !!! Otherwise you would have had to pay much more !!! For example, I have an 1892-S dollar PCGS AU58. The grade is strictly limited by a tiny patch of wear over the ear, and an even tinier patch on the eagle's breast. However, other than that, the coin is 1000% original, with excellent luster, attractive toning, good strike, minimal abrasions, a prooflike reverse, and overall a "Choice Unc" quality. My good fortune !!!

    Best,

    Wholly crap! That is a gorgeous picture. I just may have to send all of my CC DMPLs to PCGS for the true view service.

    The vast majority of TrueView images that I have seen are very impressive. PCGS can be proud of this department.

    Thanks everyone. Even though PCGS thought MS61DMPL, it has a lot of eye appeal for that grade!

    Indeed 'tis. The lad does good work. Always did. A few lucky Darksiders were fortunate enough to have him image their coins for him, back before he went pro.

    Brian: I love that 1890-CC. She sure has a very clean cheek for an MS-61 DMPL!! It appears that many of the contact marks are not in the most prime focal areas, making her look a couple of points better than MS-61.
