    1. It is a no problem coin but the strike is weak: Liberty's hairline & eagle's breast feathers are not exciting.

    MS 62 ....nice look overall

  • JW77JW77 Posts: 597 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I could go any where from 63 to 65, so I'll split it at 64

    I'm not guessing because it appears to be not certified by one of the top 4 grading services.

    I thought there could only be one Top grading service. I don’t understand if you would give concessions to three runner ups why not a fourth? And by the way, who is number four if Anacs is five or six?

    This might be a trick question ,so I'll say au58 :p

    Same here, I'm also not seeing MS, 58 for me!

    Whatever grade might have been assigned by whatever company, the coin looks approximately 63 to me. AU 58 is too strict and grades above 64 are way too loose.

    I agree. I revise mine down to 63 as I got a better view of the marks on Liberty's face that I didn't see before.

    I just now noticed it’s in an ANACS holder I still stand by my grade of 62 but I’ll bet they called it a 63…

    Hats off to the 58s because I tried my level best (with lighting) to highlight any luster and shadow the major hits.

    Having it in hand, what do you grade it?

    Great question and one that I cannot answer with much certainty so for now I'll go with the label. It's a new series of nuances for me. Taking back from the responses and my now closer look I can tell you that it has cartwheel luster but not the kind of frosty skin akin to a 67 so I'm not yet sure where the line falls between AU/MS.

    I just took this pick w/o any tweaking of the lights, what say you?

    The obverse looks 62, shot 58. The reverse is hard to see.😉

    From original photo I was going to guess 63, but got here late to the game. I bet you would have no problem selling the coin at 58 price.

    This is one where I agree with ANACS now, having seen more pictures
    They occasionally get them right. :o:p:D

    I was going to say MS62, based on my interpretation of the surfaces and luster.

    Agreed.

  • coastaljerseyguycoastaljerseyguy Posts: 1,479 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The newer photos and lighting now show 58. Get it in a PCGS holder and CAC.

  • ChrisH821ChrisH821 Posts: 6,612 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like it as a 58. I'd leave it in the ANACS holder

    Hoping the experts chime in to give you the pros/cons of each. Bought many PCGS coins but never sent any in for slabbing. Coin does look like a very strong candidate for being holdered in PCGS slab and getting the green CAC sticker. The only potential issue I see if the flattening of the rim on obverse at 5-6:00 under the 21.

  • LeeBoneLeeBone Posts: 4,521 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I didn't get to respond to this thread until now. My guess would have been 58 as I have a similar piece to this one. I would not waste money on trying to send to our host as I believe it would come back the same at best. Just my 2 cents worth.

    I’m not @coastaljerseyguy, but I’d jut leave it as is. Grading and postage fees will likely eat up much, if not all of the upside.

    ANACS does confuse strike with luster more than other services. I wouldn't be surprised to see this coin in a PCGS or NGC mint state holder. I cherrypick things like this because ANACS undergrades coins on occasion.

    Mark,
    Although I agree reslabbing as an AU58 would eat up most of any price gain, I feel the extra liquidity of the PCGS holder is a big plus. I believe that coin in a PCGS AU58 slab would sell at minimum near greysheet easily. In hand, I'd buy ANACS/ICG slabs if I like the coin, but online, for a coin >$350, I'd only buy PCGS & NGC. I wouldn't gamble the seller was showing me any of the coin's negatives.

    Also if no issues are present, can never get a CAC sticker on the ANACS slab. But would show the coin to others for their opinion first.

    Fair enough - I can certainly understand your viewpoint. I was thinking in terms of selling the coin sight-seen in its current holder. That is, if the plan is to sell it in the forseable future.

    I definitely plan on flipping it and hopefully to break even it was an impulse buy. I recently bought a 28 in Anacs AU 50 from the same seller and I received similar results here on the board and it did well at eBay auction.
