    Great looking type 1, Jim. I'd say 64-65 and very attractive.
    Nice pick up.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Nice looking blazer. I'd guess 64.

    Darn, I was hoping it was another switched satin proof '36 when I clicked on the thread ;)

    Seriously though, nice blazer and I agree with IronTail that it looks like a 64.

    64

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Great luster, clean surfaces, only so so strike. MS64

    I'm sorry if I sound harsh, I just don't see this making it past a 63. It has great looking luster, but far too many small ticks on both obverse and reverse to much higher IMO.

    64+ luster bumps it and trumps strike.

  • BuffaloIronTailBuffaloIronTail Posts: 7,577 ✭✭✭✭✭

    jtlee321: The coin was reworked due to a clash, and only has an average strike, but as far as the ticks, I think they are acceptable for a 64.

    My humble opinion.

    Nice looking coin Jesbbroken, I'm guessing a 64 maybe 65

    I was in the process of buying this coin, but with your many comments, I feel the money is higher than the grade would allow.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    I would guess 64

    This is the coin I purchased instead. I have many 1913's but I warned myself after many raw disappointments to buy pcgs or ngc-pcgs preferrably.
    Thanks all for your comments.

    Jim - I much prefer the second coin. You did well.

    The second coin is definitely much better...............

    Don't settle for anything less than a fully struck 1913. Much better is the 2nd one.

    The OP coin would be a 64, and, although the second coin is nice as well... based on the pictures, I like the first one the most. Cheers, RickO
