forgotten monster ! pcgs submission results are here !

deltadimeman · January 13, 2011 11:46AM

i had forgotten all about this 55-s dime ! i think i will submit to pcgs with my next batch of coins, what will it grade in your opinion ??

hoping for a ms67 grade , but still a monster toned coin !

The toning itself and the progression looks funky to me.

mdwoods · January 13, 2011 11:52AM

Very nice. I could see it grading 67. It's hard to tell if the bottom bands on the torch are split.

Luster is all-important with the grading of Roosies (by PCGS, anyway), and that's hard
to gauge from the photos. I'd guess 66 or 66+.

Coppercolor · January 13, 2011 11:54AM

Broadstruck, I've seen Deltadimeman's listings on ebay, I believe the funky look is a result of the camera.

So..... if PCGS accepts the color, I'd guess 66 shot 67 depending on the luster in hand. Doesn't look FB from this angle of photo. But roosies are not my home territory and defer to DDman, Rainbowroosie, Lablover etc.

deltadimeman · January 13, 2011 11:56AM

the bands are not split, but the mint luster is ultra gem quality ! but is the toning the real deal ??

GaCoinGuy · January 13, 2011 11:56AM

I'd give that a 66+ no FB all day long. Maybe a shot 67.

Purty coin.

I only see a hit on the eyebrow, looks like it would be at least a ms66. Toning looks NT to me.

Coppercolor, The pics are sharp as you can even see all the horizontal brush marks in the holder.

I too have been checking out Deltadimeman's nifty listings on ebay for over 6 years, but gotta go with my gut as the toning just seemed off to me right away.

Maybe the toning is secondary

You could very well be right Broadstruck. It's just that I remember seeing an ebay listing of a coin I knew, and remember remarking that it looked a little greasy, and a little brown compared to in-hand.

Dimeman, you have awesome coins brother. Me thinks a little camera tinkering would do them the justice they deserve. Wish I had some advice but I suck worse!

coppercolor , just a hand held sony cyber shot camera for me !

fcloud · January 13, 2011 12:28PM

Remind me never to play against you in the memory game, it's like you know where the ladybug is and you're patiently waiting for the other one to turn up.

I should just send you the 58D so you can put it in your collection.

You may not believe me, but I thought of you and that coin TODAY.

Gorgeous original color...wouldn't be surprised if it came back a 67 but the images are not ideal for seeing hits.

lordmarcovan · January 13, 2011 3:36PM

I like the target toning.

I'm never a good judge of AT vs. NT but it looks OK to me?

I'll pass on guessing a grade, thanks. I try to avoid grading Roosies. (And Franklins. And ... well... lots of types.)

PawPaul · January 13, 2011 8:04PM

....at least 66

ricko · January 13, 2011 9:24PM

65+, maybe 66.... tarnish is distracting...Cheers, RickO

You guys mean that lovely tarnish isn't "original?" Well, now I'm depressed...that just sucks!

Don't let it get you down. You're like me. We're not "educated" enough.

I've got to agree with Broadstruck. My immediate reaction was that something in the color doesn't look quite right, both in that shade of light blue and the pattern it has.
