Asking for grade opinions please.

Gothat3rs · November 10, 2025 6:53PM

Hoping to get everyone's thoughts on what this might grade. Thank you everyone. Happy holidays

Clackamas1 · November 10, 2025 7:00PM

65, it has a worn die strike

You think 65 huh.
Can you explain the worn die strike and why you think 65?

TomB · November 10, 2025 7:55PM

Not all 1937-D three-loggers are weak strike coins. For me, given these sub-par images, I would be comfortable as an AU58.

ad4400 · November 10, 2025 8:01PM

I am in the technical 58 boat as well, with the slightest hint of wear on buffalos hump, but could see a market grade as MS something. Looks to have very clean surfaces and I find it pleasing.

2windy2fish · November 10, 2025 10:08PM

58 As @TomB said…i see a little rub on the hip

Davidk7 · November 10, 2025 11:06PM

I will gamble and go 64 based on my interpretation of the photos, luster, and surface preservation. Without seeing it in hand, a reasonable grade range is plausible.

coinkat · November 11, 2025 3:59AM

This is one that needs to be seen in hand as there are reasonable concerns expressed here that really impact the grade opinion.

Its a nice looking coin. As far as grade I'll leave that with more experienced folks.

MEJ7070 · November 11, 2025 6:50AM

Agree with @coinkat

Based on these pics Id be straddling AU 58-MS 62/3. Need a better idea of luster though.

Nice coin!

jdimmick · November 11, 2025 6:50AM

Id say 62-3

MFeld · November 11, 2025 7:18AM

The coin looks AU58 to me.

logger7 · November 11, 2025 7:23AM

Slider.

ChrisH821 · November 11, 2025 8:29AM

I'm at 63-64.
These almost never seem to look very good, this one looks decent.

FlyingAl · November 11, 2025 8:36AM

Asking for grade opinions on a coin already up for auction is generally frowned upon.

For everyone else, this coin is currently for sale at Stacks.

hummingbird_coins · November 11, 2025 8:57AM

MS64

Graded?

FullHorn · November 11, 2025 9:28AM

I would guess MS60 in an old green holder. LOL

Crypto · November 11, 2025 11:14AM

I agree with an AU63

Coins3675 · November 11, 2025 12:07PM

Gothat3rs · November 11, 2025 12:36PM

Nope I was going to if it stayed a little lower but the last hour of the auction it jumped another 1000 bucks so I stayed out. Im looking for a 3 leg but I told myself I wouldn't go over 5k so I'll keep looking

ChrisH821 · November 11, 2025 5:25PM

Looks like it sold for MS63 money. Seems about right for the look.

When a coin is actively for sale, it is bad form to post it here asking for grade opinions, whether it will sticker, etc, etc

This is a widely used board. One shouldn't promote their own coin (that's what the BST is for), denigrate others' coins (the consigner very well may be on this board), or laud coins (bidders may be here and drawing attention to that target will cost them money). Asking for a grading opinion will check one of those three boxes.

EDIT: If you're dying of curiosity, ask AFTER the auction. If you want to bid on it, you'll have to use your own judgement or ask privately by sending a DM, talking to your local coin dealer, etc.

There's also the fact that having a large board do the hard work of actually grading the coin for you to see if you can get a quick grab off of it is just a crappy way of doing things.

If you want to play the game of trying to find under graded coins, learn to grade yourself and don't ask others to do it for you.

ms63 nice coin attractive no wear or rub

Thats not what I was doing, I definetly do my homework on coins im interested in and had my own opinion on the grade. Regardless of what everyone said on here what they they thought the grade was I was already set on buying it if it stayed under a certain price. I just simple wanted to hear people's opinions. Plus if you really think about it that would never work on here because people's grading opinions are all over the place. Some guys are down to au58 on this coin and it goes all the way up to ms64 for some others. So how would that really help me decide to buy or not??? Anyone could geiss between those numbers on this coin lol.
Anyways this post was just out of curiosity and I'll probably post something like this again because I enjoy watching the auctions and just hearing opinions, but next time I'll state that's its a coin for sale and im just curious what others think. Once again if this actually upset anyone I apologize cause that wasnt the intent.

Here's an opinion. Don't do that. Wait until after the auction.

Or, feel free to ignore me and the best practices the vast majority of people here follow. But, from a little experience, when people knowingly and repeatedly display bad manners they usually don't have a very good experience on this forum. Which is a shame, because this is an amazing forum with an enormous wealth of knowledge available.

Can someone explain why it is bad form to ask questions or opinions on a coin up for auction. I have no problem with it.

I agree with you totally man. I kniw how to grade myself and make my own decisions anyways. I just like seeing what other people think. Its not a big deal at all. Regardless its not against the rules. I broke no rules. So if some people dont like it I do apologize to them but I dud nothing wrong and if I decide to do it in the future it is still allowed. If it was a actual rule here I wouldn't do it but alot of people dont care at all

MarkInDavis · November 13, 2025 5:07PM

I certainly understand if you are auctioning the coin, you should not promote it here (BST excepted). That would certainly be bad form. And I get that it could cost one some money if one attract others to bid on a coin if the one is going to bid on it, but that would only hurt the poster and that is his/her decision. As far as others doing the "hard work of grading the coin for you" that would seem to apply to every guess the grade or request for help grading, coin up for auction or not. Unless someone can come up with a better reason, we will just have to agree to disagree. Nobody has to respond to a guess the grade/help grading request.

yspsales · November 13, 2025 5:20PM

Missing something.

MS60 was not on my bingo card.

2D pictures are not foolproof by any means.

Can't decide on the hip, so going MS62 or MS63 based on the strike.

Asking for grade opinions please.
