I'm in the EF column. I like it! 👍
45
You're for sure at a 35 - wouldn't be surprised at a 40 though. Very nice example!

sharp with nice original crust looks like an au50
40 here.
I love it!

45… 40 is a possibility
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
VF30 or 35. Too much wear for a 40. Nice looking example of whatever grade it is.
We all think PCGS got it wrong! 😂 😉

Pictures of the slab or it never happened.

I would have thought EF-something. Is luster visible in-hand?

I guess it happened! 😉 👍
No clue how this graded 50, it seems well circulated to me.
Love the look, love the issue, but not sure I love the grade. Looks like a 40/45 in the images.

My thought process to get to 50 was starting at 45 + bump for original surfaces + bump for better date mm
Could it just be a weak strike?

I suspect the surfaces are quite nice in hand… congrats…it is a nice coin

maybe, hard to tell from the pic...just a good handful here thinking VF-EF.
Any V neck experts on here tonight?
It's not the sharpest strike seen on a 1912-D but not the weakest either.
I would have guessed XF-45. If enough frost is available then AU could make sense.
Here is a PCGS XF-45 with some similar weakness when magnified.

Frost on that coin?

Nice coin

I be talking about this.
Here is a raw AU 1901 (the dealer it sold to agreed) that I could have photographed to look like the one in OP. It was difficult enough to get it to show any hint of frost due to the tone (particularly the reverse), no matter how I angled the lighting.
Bottom line for the 1912-D in OP, I cannot tell if there is any frost under the color from the photos. Doesn't look like any. Would have to see it in person to arrive at a final opinion as to grade. Might only consider it to be only XF-40. Have seen similar looking ones that did have enough frost in person but the photo showed none.
Definitely prefer the OP coin to this "beauty" of a PCGS AU-50 12-D further below (which still doesn't mean I would call either an AU).

I realize the OP's coin is a done deal. Just a follow-up. These two areas jumps out at me.
frost is on proofs
