Another coin where I liked the pic and figured I would post it. How would you grade it? I know what PCGS said about it already. Again sorry about the big pics, but should be helpful for an more accurate grading experience.

64

razorface1027 · June 18, 2004 2:14AM

I say 63

Dennis88 · June 18, 2004 2:16AM

62-63

poorguy · June 18, 2004 2:16AM

Due to a slight weakness of strike and the contact marks on the coin, I'd say MS62

eagle7 · June 18, 2004 2:17AM

Hard to say and not look at it in person but I will say 63.

LanLord · June 18, 2004 2:24AM

Would the discolored area on the nose and forehead cause it to be an AU55/58?

LittleBitOEverything · June 18, 2004 2:29AM

Not a strong strike

but still Miss Liberty still looks good

.....easy 62

I think the head, nose and such look pretty good in real life. The lighting I use is ultra harsh and brings out all defects almost to a fault.

63.

I don't think that is the case BUT I do know to look at the right (her left) knee. In this case it is tough since the picture is dark in that area. Without seeing the coin it's either 63 or 58. But since it's a 1925 it is more likely a MS63.

I say a 64. I think you get dinged for more larger marks. Several smaller ones aren't as critical. I have seen coins marked up worse then this in PCGS 64. Depends on the luster. Nice saint

62?

nOoBiEeE · June 18, 2004 3:15AM

I'd say 62-63..

62

62.5 (imagine, a rad on the fence!)

I think many of you are being too harsh in your assessments. Remember, these are GIANT images!

The color, strike and luster look fine and I see no wear on the coin. If the pics are accurate, I think MS63 would be the minimum grade for this coin, but, I expect it to grade MS64 and would not be surprised if it were graded MS65.

mgoodm3 · June 18, 2004 3:56AM

Thankyou coinguy1. The consensus grade around here was what PCGS gave it also. MS63. In real life I think it's a reasonable grade given the amount fo scuffs and contact marks. Nice luster on it.

airplanenut · June 18, 2004 3:58AM

MS63... nice coin!

LAWMAN · June 18, 2004 3:59AM

crack it out - it might just be a 64.

clackamas · June 18, 2004 4:00AM

>>>would not be surprised if it were graded MS65.

I would be. there are litterally hundreds of marks.

coinkat · June 18, 2004 11:19AM

LOCK MS63 with a reasonable shot at 64. I agree with Coinguy1 about the large images and how easy it is to get caught up in looking at minor imperfections. It is a nice coin, but I think it falls short of a 65

roadrunner · June 18, 2004 11:45AM

A few too many obv grazes to make 65. But it certainly has a 64 shot. Just depends how many $20 chances you want to take to get it into the holder. A very nice 63+ or ++ coin.
