Click here for the thread with images and grading guesses.
Reading through that thread, it becomes very obvious who knows their stuff, who is trying but still learning, and who is just plain full of crap.
My guess was MS64, and I was off by a point. Congrats to those who nailed it at MS65!

Not only did you nail it, but you provided a nice analysis to go along with the grade assessment.

That would have been heart attack time.

I was RIGHT!

PS. Congrats Russ
and i still don't think there is a way to one side only AT a coin but i still think the coin is a 64 with a pcgs bump for color. Les
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Congrats! You've got a great coin there.
I personally believe that with that type of toning you should be able to get appraisals much higher than MS-65 value.
It might not hurt to show it to some other people (in person) to see if it might go MS-66. If so, that truely would be a homerun.....

Let me know if you decide to sell.
Russ,
I certainly don't mean to criticize, but why do you say 'it becomes very obvious who knows their stuff, who is trying but still learning, and who is just plain full of crap.'?
I just read through it, and nobody guessed lower then 63 hardly except on guy who thought it was an S mint at first, and then changed to a 63+. Most people who said 63 or 4 pointed out what appeared to be valid issues with the coin (small ticks, etc.). Just because it came back 65 this time hardly means they were stupid or giving B.S. If you sent it back to PCGS 10 times, you know as well as anyone the grade may change a few times. Just because someone came right out and said 65 and said they knew it all along, or whatever hardly makes them an expert for getting 1 coin the same as PCGS did once!
Not trying to argue with you, I am just wondering why you feel some people were giving you crap just because they thought the coin didn't look at nice as PCGS felt.
BTW - Congrats on the nice coin and the great buy.

Here's an example of full of crap:
<< <i>It looks like an MS 62 (marks on the chin and under the wings of the eagle, ding on the rim). If it's not bagged for questionable toning they might give it an MS63. The golden toning looks ok but I don't know about that purple stuff. Maybe you should have dipped it, the golden toning would have come back eventually. >>
Note the last sentence, in particular.
