I won it on E-Bay. Do you think it might be a 66? -------------------------------------BigE47-S B T W

    Looks like a sweet BTW. Image too small to seriously grade a toned coin. But the coin looks very clean to me. let us know what you think when you get it in hand.

    I'm a little worried about the toning as well. I've seen some AT coins with this color/pattern, but then again I have seen NT coins with the same. I don't know the seller so I can't give any insight there. Good-luck with it and post the results if you send it in for grading.

    I decided to roll the dice on this 26.00 purchase, I needed it for a 4 coin freebie from PCGS. If it comes back in a body bag I can always get it into a NTC MS 67 holder and double my moneyimage----------------BigE

    Hard to tell from a little picture, but it seems nice.

    This one I bought some 30 years ago Big E before AT was in vogue. Colors are not too different from yours.
    I guess you will be able to tell better when you see the coin in hand.

  • Tree - Im not worried about AT as much as it possibly having been cleaned and retoned - the first thing I noticed is that it has an unusual sheen to it - if it does when you get the coin it is almost positively cleaned.

    Hi. That Booker T caught my eye. Yes it looks very nice but I`ve never seen one like it. Close, but not like it. Please let us know what the experts think about it. My guess is it won`t be slabbed.

    Thanks for the input guys! I will post when I get the coin in hand. I can't wait to see the reverse-----------------------BigE

    I don't think it's AT. The surfaces do look muted though. Like you said, for $26, what the heck? image
    If the luster is lacking, the coin probably won't grade higher than 62, maybe 63.
