I should have my PCGS grade on this in a few days. What do you grade it? It has blazing luster FYI. Oh, and it's a DDO, FS-101 cherrypick. Not a dramatic doubled die, but tough nonetheless!! I'll give my opinion later.



1929 5C DDO FS-101 (016.8)
MS65
USA

    Above average strike for a 29, I’ll go with 65.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    My guess is MS64, and if the coin has “blazing luster”, that’s not apparent in the images. The luster looks more satiny to me.

    MS65. Nice coin.

    my guess would be ms62 or 63 just because of the nicks on the nose otherwise a very nice-looking coin, you should be very happy with whatever you get it's a keeper for sure.

    I would say 64. Rev is easy 65 and Obv is 63.75 ( gotta be original in my breakdown)

    Using the supplied pictures I'd go 63. No blazing luster apparent - obverse will hold it down

    I feel the lack of luster may or not hold it back. Photos don't always show luster and grader's don't have to rely on photos. If coin has luster not in photo then 65 and if not 64. Absolutely well struck 29.

    If the the luster is there I see it as a 65. If not 64.
    As a footnote the images leave a lot to be desired. Looks like it was pounded with light. I agree the strike is above average for the date.

    Joe’s post actually makes me feel better about the coin. My initial reaction based on the photos is that the coin may have been overdipped although the carbon spots would suggest otherwise.

    Good luck and please post the resulting grade.

    Like Mark said, it's more satiny than brilliant. Too bad it has those black obverse spots. The coin's look overall is "clean", with a fully struck top feather.

    The reverse looks better than the obverse.

    It would be a 65 without the spotting so I'll say 64.

    Nice result, and you had it at 63! Luster likely fuller that photos indicate.
