    I've never graded one of these before. It looks like a low end 62. image

    PCGS MS 62. The fields are clean enough for a 63, but the hits in the focal area on the obverse limit this coin. All MHO...Mike

    Looks like a nice 62 to me.

    I just bought one of these for myself recently, a 1900 PCGS 60 / Rattler - and I guess I just want to say that I never before appreciated how cool these coins really are!

    They are cool. And they add heft to a slab. image

    MS-63 and as usual the reverse looks substantially better.

  • Good Lord! My 62 must be PQ!

    I'll give it a 60.

    Fooled me. I can handle the ticks in the fields, but the hits on Liberty were just a bit much for a 65, imo.
  • Great strike, but come on...

  • that coin should be MS62, and MS63 would be a gift. C'mon though, MS65??????? That coin is hideous with all thsoe spots.

    As a collector of PCGS Mint State $20 Gold, this is very sad to see indeed. I understand that PCGS now market grades $20 gold based on the year and mint, but this is really unacceptable.

    Techeff, did you actually purchase this coin? If so, I don't mean to "bag" on your coin. If so, I hope you paid way back of greysheet bid for it. If so, did you buy it online or in person, sight unseen or sight seen? If so, are you happy with the coin in person?

    So is this an NGC 67 since PCGS grades more conservatively? I'm surprised that hasn't been said by the 'only PCGS' suporters. I know you can't grade 100% from an image, but if that 65 turned into a 62, it would be more believable.

    I fell in love with the coin and paid a 50% premium for it! image


    No, not really. I may be crazy, but I’m not insane… I came across this coin while searching through a recent Heritage auction. The coin didn't sell...


    Edit: For spelling... image

    HOLY CRAP image

    FYI it's a dealer bulk submission that was reholdered at some point. I'm thinking it may have been graded back when the barcodes were on the front and then recently reholdered?
  • karpman9karpman9 Posts: 310 ✭✭
    Here is my PCGS 64 to compare and also demonstrate the difference in market grading by date and mint.

    Most of the scratches in the fields and the white spots on the obverse are on the holder, what you see on the cheek is on the coin.

    Yes, I wish my lighting was better too:

    I can't see this coin ever selling to a numismatist, they better wholesale this coin out to a telemarketer or the coin vault for them to sell.....

    Then again PCGS grading guarantee needs to be applied here.....
