Hi all, here's a cent I picked up about 5 months ago. Please take a look and guess the grade. I'll reveal later in the day and then we can discuss the results.

    MS65RD or RB depending on the accuracy of the color in the images.

    I'd say MS66RD all day, but this could be one of the 29 67's graded at PCGS image

    Very nice.

    << <i>MS65RD or RB depending on the accuracy of the color in the images. >>



    Of course they don't call him coppercoins for nothing image

    I really think it's a red from what I am seeing on my screen, but after seeing the tick marks, maybe it is a 65, maybe a strong 65, low 66 image

    Crack and resubmitt...lol

    65RD...Real nice looking coin. I think the couple hits on the obverse keep it from a 66.

    Real nice looking coin!

    Lot of ticks for a 66RD, but I bet that is what the label says.
    I would rather see this coin in a 65RD slab and look at it as a PQ 65 rather than a mid to average 66
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Ok guys, thanks for your input, here's the coin in its holder. I think this is one case of the picture not doing the coin justice. It is 95% red with only a tinge of slightly darker color here or there. It has no major marks at all, just a few very minor ticks here or there that the camera seemed to pick up in the pictures. The fields are remarkably clean overall, and the reverse is MS67 quality. It also has nice luster too. I think it was correctly graded. If this were in an MS65 holder, I would rush to send it in for a regrade!
