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

there's really no rub or stacking. It's frost ruboff, for lack of a better term.

Maybe Mark will put me on his "good grader" list.
I know, no chance in hell...
MS 64!
The reverse is beautiful but the obverse screams 64!
First of all, it's a 66 no matter what you say. Second, coins do not scream.
Edited to add the screaming.
I say it is a 65.
<< <i>It is a beautiful rare coin, but grading is subjective. You shouldn't be so harsh to criticize those whom simply are obliging your request for an OPINION!

OH...like the AU58 that Chimplips posted? Gimme a break. he tells a lie....I light him on fire. SOP.
BTW...I posted that it's a 66 and you GUESSED 65? ERRRRRRRR!! You lose too.
Better stop before wok get hot.
Looks like quite a bit of chatter going on for a 66, at least for my tastes......still a nice coin though.
As I said, the grading services seem to allow these, recognizing thatthe actual coins are uuber gems that never left the mint, but do have bag marks as a result of that.
Sometimes the grading rules do vary.
Look at Heritage archives at 1931/32's in MS65 and see what they look like....you'll be surprised. BUT...as I said, the coins sans hits are all so GEM it's amazing. They look like they were make last week.
I know that as I looked through the Morse Collection I was suprised by what I would consider loose grading on the key-dates.
I would just like to see both services be more consistant from date to date, key date vs common date, and from denomination to denomination. If there are no 65's for a certain key-date then there are no 65's. I guess it looks bad when someone has a gem set and in the key-date column...oops there's a 63 or a 64 (or less)??
As a collector of condition census coins it is very frustrating when you own the finest known and it is well known by the specialsists that it is the finest known only to see some other coin make a higher grade that is then promoted as the finest known when in actuality it is not. But a peice of plastic says it is.
Maybe in some instances a finest known will get a bump in grade to seperate it from the rest of the pack so it gets the recognition it deserves?
I think large sized coins such as Seated Dollars, Morgan Dollars and Dbl Eagles should all be graded by the same standards. Not necessarily what are typical handling marks for each type or each date.
sorry I was in a hurry and hope what I said made sense??
