No cheating ya bastidges!

(The spot to the left of Liberty looks like a "milk-spot" or whatever...it's nothing!)

Knowing that you purchased this coin and that it's likely a POP TOP, I'm going to say it's a 67. Hope I'm right because it's gorgeous.

bestclser1 · August 10, 2007 11:40AM

My guess would be a 66,possibly 67.Nice coin Jay.

saintguru · August 10, 2007 11:45AM

Look up the POPs on the 1927-S.

saintguru · August 10, 2007 11:48AM

No///she's a Vestal Virgin, fool!

tightbudget · August 10, 2007 11:49AM

66

ILikeMercs · August 10, 2007 11:50AM

<< <i>No///she's a Vestal Virgin, fool!

so it isn't a 69.

i have to admit i think you may have a 66 there. a gem.

MidLifeCrisis · August 10, 2007 11:56AM

I'll go with MS 66 as well. Nice!

Ok, well atleast it was a plausible guess.

66 is still a super grade for the coin. It looks like a strong 66 IMO

Looks 66 almost 67 One of the top key dates in the series and is most righteous.

65 with a CAC sticker

elwood · August 10, 2007 12:18PM

She has man hands

I'm curious as to what the black crap is on the wing?

If it is on the coin as it appears to be, would/could this be the copper reacting that is mixed in with the gold?

Thanks
Ron

It's a VERY strong MS66. (Mr. CAC agreed!)

Nice job.

There's no black "crap" on the wing. That's Heritage's camera.....just wait until Mike Printz gets hold of this one. It will photo beautifully. It's all satiny and rose colored.

When I scored my MS65 from Steve Duckor I thought that was the biggest coin I would get. Heritage has never sold an MS65, and I think they have only had one MS64! This is still hard to believe.

Oh do I love buying when stuff is on sale.

TwoSides2aCoin · August 10, 2007 12:54PM

you know yer stuff

Congrats on doubling your play money, too.

IGWT · August 10, 2007 1:17PM

Jay was like a giddy school girl with this coin.

I'm looking forward to seeing it Printzified.

ebizgobro · August 10, 2007 1:33PM

MS 66. Beautiful coin that I wished that I owned.

Joflax · August 10, 2007 2:01PM

Please put my name in on the give away for the 65 no wthat you dont need it

oldcameoproofsguy · August 10, 2007 4:20PM

That looks like a very nice 66! I have seen many saints that are overgraded lately. It's nice to see one that is strong for the grade for a change.

saintguru · August 10, 2007 11:21PM

Thanks guys,

This coin has quite a provenance. Ex Norweb/Thane Price.

Those kind of coins were untouched treasures, and to be the caretaker of this for my time is more like an honor!

jmski52 · August 10, 2007 11:25PM

Who's Norweb? (Just kidding....) Congratulations!

GUESS the grade of the Saint!!
