    Some of those gouges are deep...

    that one is ms62ish to me, and not a 4 holder coin.... color is nice on it though, and the die cracks are cool....

    you probably got that one on the cheap anyways....

    Maybe I'm missing something, but the enlarged pic shows a 1943-D, not a 1942-D. And it is no-way a 64!

    Gary..............no sir, your not missing a thing,

    besides coins I collect plastic also, as in mechanical errors and heaven forbid, sample slabs................................there I've said it,
    now the whole world knows.

    I agree with Lucy that it shouldn't be any higher than a 62, but the toning is fairly nice.....

    Yes the toning is nice, I like the colors,

    that is a big gash.


    So now there is a 1942 D in a 1943 D MS62 holder that should be a 64..image

    I'll keep my eye open for that slab..image

    Yep, in my opinon its a 63 coin, but the market grading has effected slabs and to be honest I would be delighted to buy that coin for ms64 dollars it a very nice example.
