Any chance this '35 wheatie grades MS64 or higher?

Bithrate

What d'ya say? I'm on a roll tonight...having fun with my camera.

looks 65 Red to me...

Swampboy

I'd say 64 from what I can see.

BlackBeard

Looks nice, but how bad is the hit at the temple? That would keep it from 65.

STONE

I'd say you have a solid chance of 64. A 65 might take some work from those pics, but I'm sure it's a lock at 64.

Bithrate

The hit is actually not that bad, but the spot next to it makes it look worse than it is...

julie43

absolutely!

It's always hard to tell if the color is ok in this type of photo. But if it is, that coin should 64 no problem.

Bithrate

Thanks. Yeah, the photo is pretty accurate in terms of color...

64 seems possible. The picture really is too fuzzy to say. As for color, you may be the best judge. Pictures can be misleading. I try hard to make sure the photo is a good representation but it is easy to influence.

PCGS is being very conservative about color and handing out RD designations. They are exposed if the copper turns RB or BN. I just got 38 early wheaties back from crossover grading and I am dumbstruck by some RD --> RB downgrades. Here's a '26-D that went from 65RD (NGC) to 64RB (it's a struggle to find much brown at all).

I think it's borderline. I would sticker that coin at 64, but might not at a 65.

64 would be a fair grade.... Cheers, RickO
