    Just when I think I know what kind of coins I want to collect somebody always comes up with something better.

    IMO, 66. Maybe, dare I say...67. Clear field and face for the obverse though it is hard to see from the glare in the picture, can't see any rim dings. The reverse is just as nice.

    It looks like a Gem to me, so I will say 65 rb.

    Best wishes for a Happy and Healthy Holiday season.

    Hint - for those who do not usually look at pattern coins - the vast majority were struck as Proof's, not business strikes. And, if you happen to think (hint, hint) it might be copper, bronze, etc., it would be designated "RD", "RB" or "BN".

    65 RB (very nearly RD). A little to spotty and scuffy for 66 for me.

    P66RB - hard to tell color from pic - wouldn't be surprised if red.

    Interesting era when you could put "God is Glorious" on a coin! image I've always liked that part of the design, especially on the $20 Stella.

  • RalphP13RalphP13 Posts: 368
    I've already proven I can't grade - but I'll guess.
    PF 66 BN (Looks CAM too)

    Nice "thingamajiggy"

    Nice coin. I happen to know an individual responsible for costing the present owner more than a few bucks on that one. In fact, he's sitting in my chair.

    I am thinking PF64RB

    64 due to what looks like flat areas that I would consider strike weakness.

    I'm not sure if it should go RB or BR, the color is way awsome, and may in fact qualify as a brown, but I like it a lot.

    Since it's difficult to discern any hairlines, it's difficult to determine if it gets a lower grade, but that's my humble opinion.

    Oh, by the way, it's way cool and I have saved an image to my virtual coin collection.
  • MikeInFLMikeInFL Posts: 10,188 ✭✭✭✭
    Mark,

    Your photos showing the color make judging the grade difficult.

    That being said, I will guess the coin is PF 66 RB...Mike

    Now wait just one minute, Coinguy1--the coin is marked 895.8 Silver and 100 Copper on the reverse, so it is a silver coin. I will go with PR 67.

    Andy, please give that guy in your chair a good kick on my behalf. Also, tell him he's an idiot - he bid way too muchimage

    I'll let my client (with whom the coin has been placed) know that a super sharp dealer and pattern guy apparently liked the coin too.

    BigMoose, I wasn't trying to mislead anyone with the color designation hints. The coin is a metric dollar, but struck in copper, and in fact has a "RB" color designation.image

    Those copper patterns are ALWAYS very tough to grade, I think even for the TPGs, and I don't believe I've ever seen one designated CAM, so I'm goin' with PR64RB. (since you gave that last part way already...image )

    That said, the reverse looks pretty close to cameo, but that doesn't count!

    Consider the latter done, many times over. The former may be more difficult.

    PCGS PR65RB. I think it's a solid (and gorgeous) PR66RB and probably paid a price commensurate with such a grade.
  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,460 ✭✭✭✭✭
    WOW - never thought it would be as low as 65. If it needs a new home (at 65 money), let me know. image

    The purplish areas in the obv fields tend to indicate some light friction (hairlines) could be there. Might be why the 65 grade. Nice looker though.
