    Would fit nicely in my Type Set. image


    Looks 66/67, depending on lustre to me.

    66 or 67 -- I could see it go either way. I'll guess PCGS was conservative and said 66.

    The real variable in this equation, which isn't shown at all in the photos, is the luster. How is it?

    Luster is great. The coin kinda glows in hand.

    The catch is...that is got a "Genuine" grade. Guess the reason for the Gennie.

    some one did some work on this coin to make it look presentable... "tooling" ?

    To make it look presentable? Not sure what that means.

    Cleaned?

    The obverse appears to have a line on the bottom of the coin that could be construed as a tooling mark. Just a wild guess.

    Golden toned high end Unc. 38 Ds are common. In the 60s, I bought one from a dealer who had several rolls of them (each one looked like an identical twin of the others). The stain just above the tail looks out of place on this coin.

    What a beautiful coin with a great strike! MS-67
  • tresgatostresgatos Posts: 531 ✭
    Genuine eh? Then I bump my guess up 26 points to 92.

    I don't know, but I'd love to own that "genuine" coin. What a looker!

    Was it Genuine for artificial toning or something?

    I'll guess either 1.5 points lower than it would've graded 2 yrs. ago, or bodybagged for some reason either actual or imaginary or just on general principles image

    I don't think anyone would complane if this coin graded at 67. image

    The split tail looks kinda funny?

    It graded Genuine "98 Damage or Tooling."

    I have no idea what they are talking about ot referring to. Its Like thy nit pick trying to find ways to keep coins out of their slab. I could alost understand "questionable color" (although I think its NT), but damage or tooling? image

    67

    Reverse is a 68 all day long, those two little pesky "target" marks on the obverse just might keep it a grade lower.
