Here's a coin that I've owned for 20ish years. It is in an old rattler. Just for interests sakes what would you grade it? The images were done by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job. I'll post the slab grade the latter part of this afternoon my time.

    The obverse looks awesome - 65 territory to my eye.

    However, the reverse looks a little soft and has a few hits.

    Unless there are particulars to this year that I am not aware of concerning strike and what's forgiven or survival rates and what is not forgiven, I would guess that the grade on your holder reads MS63.

    That isn't "rub" on the wing - it is a typical (weak) striking characteristic.

    There is a tiny amount of friction on the cheekbone, but I'll go with MS-62+ or MS63. Nice original un-dipped color.

    Serious rim dings.

    However....perhaps a MS63.

    I think those rim dings ya'll are seeing are divits on the rattles holder and not the coin.

    Those are NOT rim dings. Those are the little holder thingies (that's a technical term image) in a rattler.

    Agreed,

    If it is a weak strike it go 63/64

    If it is rub then a very high end AU58.

    I think the reverse is weakly struck. I'm gonig to assume that the darkish vertical streak on the face from the hair down to behind the mouth is just the corresponding weak spot on the obverse, and is not wear. I have to remember not to grade gold the way I grade silver, so I'm with Carrie-Ann on this one - 64.

    I'm going with 63.

    Nice coin. I like the color variances on the feathers.

    Looks to be an MS63 to me. Just enough tickiness to warrant the grade, IMO but with nice color and eye appeal. The luster looks nice but it looks as if some very light haze is on the obverse from the pics? I wouldn't be surprized to see this in an old rattler in any grade between AU58 and MS63.

    There is no haze on the coin. There is a bit of a two tone aspect to the gold on the obverse.

    Not to butt in Sy, but here is the reverse and obverse with different lighting position and exposure setting. I think it adds a little different dimension as well as showing more luster and less "haze".

    It is a very pretty 10... I had a 1926 that I sold in a 63 holder about 2 years ago. I think yours is as nice if not better.
