<< <i>hard to accurately grade from a picture, but this coin looks like it was messed with. >>
I agree. Probably a genuine holder.
nice piece...

Going by what I see, I guess I could see it as 58FH or 64FH, assuming it got a grade. The luster is good, it's well struck, and it's admirably free of marks. I see some friction, though, i think.
<< <i>Actually, while I originally said 65FH... the more I look at it, the more I'm inclined to think 66FH... (and I will add that my grading opinion, in this case
Larry I'll show it to you at parsippanu with a few other pieces, you'll get a real kick out of them
My opinion: Abrasion on the leg and disturbed luster = AU. Detail is excellent, toes, rivits, etc. FH is normal for this variety. Others will certainly have their own opinions.
Is it a high quality coin? Yes. Does it merit a premium price? Probably, esp from a collector who values quality over some printed label.

I definately want to see that coin in hand... especially now that you tell us it used to be in a 62FH holder...
...if your pics are even close to accurate, that would be one of the most severe undergrades of all time...

You got some magic eyes there RWB... I do not see what you are seeing at all... but no matter... this is all in fun, trying to accurately grade a coin from a pic...
That said, I do see some high point rub on the coin, thus the grade guess above.
Nice coin, regardless, and I'd like to buy it in a 62 holder.
All of the above via pictures with all the standard disclaimers, etc....Mike
(at least we all agree on the FH designation!)
Some hint of die clash, isn't there?
(Just think of city streets clogged with a hundred thousand horses each generating 15 lbs of manure every day...)
Need more pics.

Harshly cleaned? Your looking at the coin with 30x magnification, no hairlines on the coin.
i will post the grade tomorrow

well, understand that a Professional Grader working at PCGS/NGC will typically have above average vision, the ability to tilt the coin, superior lighting and will also use a loupe, typically 5-10X, so commenting on what the large picture shows is legitinate. with al, that said, it should come as no surprise how i keep repeating that it isn't to be expected to reliably grade a coin from online pictures.

i didnt mean anything by what i say, i was just stating you were looking at the picture from the best standpoint, i cant take a more accurate picture of the coin, if it was cleaned they must of used 5000000 grit sandpaper
I have a suspicion if the coin was turned in for grading today AND IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE THAT, it would come back in a Genuine holder altered surfaces.
I hate to talk down a nice coin, but assume you were looking for honest opinions.
Best wishes,
Pete
Edited to add: This coin might have been dipped and retoned also, this could account for the very bright centers and lightly toned edges.

Correct, I submitted it raw though. I'm going to retake the pics with different settings, I'll use less lighting this time

so much for my POLL thread...lol
the obverse of the coin especially on liberty's body looks very dulled out imop from the pictures.
my thoughts were possible harshly cleaned, or even wizzed.
the surfaces otherwise look like they have great potential for a high grade.
on the reverse between the eagles wings and above looks as if there is a semi prooflike glare shining through.
in conclusion;
based on these pictures (imop) the coin could either be cleaned/wizzed/high au/mid ms/high ms
final conlusion;
grading from pictures is not easy.

I do not have the MS62 shot, this coin was actually sitting in my PCGS box raw for about 8 months, I was too lazy to send the coins out till about a month and a half ago

<< <i>62 to 66 is the biggest jump in MS I have ever heard of.
