What do you think?

Is that a Proof? 65BN

coinkat · April 20, 2009 10:48AM

I believe it is a Proof and 65 seems right- likely Brown

It looks very nice, personally I think it would be a 65, but the TPG's have been really tough lately and may give it a 64 because of the marks on the lower reverse. I sent in some farthings a while back, four of which I knew were a lock for 65, and all came back 64. It's certainly worth 65 money though.

I am assuming that it has already been graded?

IloiloKano · April 20, 2009 12:50PM

I love it!

Oh! It's for me? Aww, you shouldn't have!

Did I say I love it?

Yes it graded. It is an old ANACS slab as pf64bn. I don't have it in hand yet so I don't know it the marks on the reverse are as bad or worse than the pics. If I was to cross to PCGS should I send it in still in the slab or crack it out first?
Thanks,
Richard

Lovely coin.

Sorry I don't know much about crossing coins from ANACS to PCGS, but my gut feeling is it should cross without cracking it out.

Very nice. I wouldn't crack it out if it were mine, I have submitted several coins in small Anacs holders lately and practically all crossed with a few that got a one point higher grade by PCGS. It also looks worth a TrueView shot that would capture its toning beautifully.

Has that coin been oiled? It looks like it has thin-film interference patterns on it. Even if it has been, I think it looks lovely.

Wow, I really like that alot!

Looks as if it spent the summer of '67 in Haight-Ashberry

Terrific look

Have the coin in hand now. What looked like scuffs on the reverse through the date and NN are actually die cracks. So, it is better than I was hoping. Those marks made me nervous. Have you ever seen these die cracks on a coin like this? Any idea on value?

I haven't checked it in Peck but assuming it's a currency issue proof NEN has a 65 for $525, usually at auction I would assume they would be aroun $300-350 or so.

That's one GREAT looking coin!
