    40 would be my WAG.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Thanks for the WAG! Do you think it is straight or details graded?

    If it's genuine, my grade would be VF-30, but I don't think that it is real. The deticals at the bottom of the obverse and reverse look odd and uneven, and the weakness in the date area and other strike weaknesses concern me. I am also not a big fan of the planchet defect at 8k on the obverse.

    It seems like this thread has disappeared. Here are photos of a Mint State example that is genunine. Compare!

    My guess is genuine, based on the dirt and crust....but maybe they've learned to fake that now.

    VF30 details, I really hope it didn't straight grade with the various rim and surface issues.

    VF35, details.
    As @WalkerGuy21D said, there are a lot of rim bumps/bruises/ticks.....too many for a straight grade if I was the finalizer.

    So, thanks for all the responses- this image my start another discussion!

    Didn't think it would go that high. I was only off by half a grade, though.

    It's not fake, it's just kind of rough to be in a straight graded holder.

    denticles look like this one

  • MikeInFLMikeInFL Posts: 10,188 ✭✭✭✭

    I'd say a silent net grade to like 30.

    Ugh, looked like I failed there, or NGC has gotten AWFUL loose. I'd sure wanna see some luster on a 40 with edge issues like that one. I can see a 35, but I'm scratching my head on a 40.

    Looks more vf30 than xf40.

    From my post on the EAC site the "netted" grade range was VG-10 to VF-20...

    No one liked it for the certed straight grade.

  • Walkerguy21DWalkerguy21D Posts: 11,718 ✭✭✭✭✭

    A tough EAC grader like Bob Grellman would be brutal on that coin....

    I'm as much mystified by the grade as by the fact someone even sent it in, unless they needed to round out a submission - but to each his own, and it looks like it worked out well for the submitter - at least 'on paper' anyway.

    I would have said VF30... but not details since the rim issue seems to be a planchet problem...Kind of a flaky coin IMO... Cheers, RickO

    My guess was VF25. They were generous with that one. :D
