Just a really crusty Barber Q

For the lovers of original, I think this one qualifies

I had forgotten I had this one at home, so I snapped a picture of her (it?) image


Guess the grade ... whatcha think ... share some crusties

    Looks like a very nice piece to me. I would guess a 55.

    Hope you are doing well....

    I say 55, but 58 wouldn't surprise me.

    You should dip that hideous thing.

    AU55 detail for sure, though the subdued luster may keep it to a 50 or 53 if submitted, IMO.
    Nice original coin though - now if it only had an 'S' on the rev.......

    Nice coin, Todd.

    I can barely see rub on the OBV -
    and the REV has a touch of rub.

    Its a solid 55 and it wouldn't
    surprise me to see it in a 58
    holder.

    AU55 what a nice example. Great color really nice coin.image

    Initial impression was 53.

    The tone reminds me of a couple of nice 98-S/99-S I have gleaned from Phillipines.

    No less than AU58. Wouldn't be surprised if it's in an MS62 holder.

    LOL ... yeah I was holding out on you all image

    hmmm ... well, amazingly, no one got this one ... at least not what it was graded

    low was a 45 (I'll buy these all day at Ch EF money) ... high was 65 with no winky but a big smile ... I think he was egging me on

    but yeah Dwayne make me a 63+ type offer and she's yours! image



    The luster is better than the picture ... and the skin is think


    ANACS graded it a 61


    I could agree that it's Unc, but it does have some "cabinet" friction on a few points, and so I consider it accordingly

    Well, at least I guessed MS where everyone else was guessing AU.
    Actually, I would have really guessed MS62 but that's an extremely hard grade to guess with these crusty Barbers.
    61 is even more odd to see. I would be interested to see what PCGS would grade it. They seem a bit less forgiving about "cabinet friction" so a 58 would be likely.
