Don't get all riled up. It's a 64.
58
<< <i>why would he want a BLUE saint? >>
Blue saints might be the new rage! Afterall, the few minted IHC's are all about to be blue!!

For any Vintage Port lovers out there, this Saint is as deep and complex as a Fonseca '63.
I'm not sure how problematic the rims are on this coin, and I think I see some light chatter here and there but......
I'd still have to say a 66 for the series. Please post more pics if you have 'em.

<< <i>Give it a dip and it might go 65. In it's current original and crusty state I give it a 64. BTW, if you dip it I will kill you. IMO it is worth more original and 64. >>
I would NEVER dip this...or any other!

More like a Taylor 55.

64? Though I can think of other grades that might fit as well.
Where's the color? The weak 4 in the date is interesting.

If it was a generic, it'd be a 66.
I see many 65 Saints with lots 'o hits...

If he bought it at the US Gold Sale in 1982, I would have notes on it in my auction catalogue.

Too many nicks for me as a 65, but is a fairly stong 64!

Steve tried to get a 65 numerous times, and even though DH twice told him it was a 65 in his mind, they only had a 2 of 5 non-consensus...so it's come close, but no cigar.
You really have to see it to appreciate the colors. The toning is NOT dirt, I assure you of that. It's a rare case of copper interaction and skin. In hand this coin has the look of a great treasure. Online it looks more stained and too busy.
Some great guesses!
