A fellow from the local coin club sent this in for XO, will it cross at MS66?

    Tough to tell from the picture, but I think it could.

    Very nice 49s. From what I can tell from pics it looks like it could

    you guys are kidding right?

    all I see are marks all over the face.

    at first I was going to grade it an ms64.

    Don't know whats up with that!?

    The pics are big ~2.2mb, maybe just needs more time?

    PCGS can be very forgiving of marks on mint set coins w/good luster and eye appeal.

    The marks are very unobtrusive in hand w/o magnification. I think it has a 50/50 shot at X/O.

    What looks like marks are splotchy toning.

    Gorgeous 49S, yes, I think it should cross. Love that Mint Set color.

    Beautiful coin and I agree, 50/ 50 chance.
    I'm thinking it's actually .22 MB.
    800X is really a large image for many to view.
    Small marks look like more than they are.
    To me it looks much better at 600X.
    Just my opinion.image

    Gorgeous coin. image I would think it has a serious shot at crossing. Of course that coin probably is starred knowing NGC and '49-S's, so why would he want to cross it?

    Terrific coin... I don't know if it will cross, but this coin speaks for itself and the plastic should be of secondary interest

    Nice coin. I do not see any major hits that would prevent a MS66. Im not sure what could be hiding under that nice tone, though.

    Great original color, nice coin. I agree with the remarks about the coin speaking for itself regardless of the holder it's in. Hard to tell these days if it'll cross with the services being tougher of late, and it's beyond my ability just looking at pics. But I bet it has a shot, the 49-s has a few 66's, so it's not like it's a pop 2 or something where they would be extremely tight. Go for it.

    You can say that again! Especially on post 58 coins.

    What burst? It crossed. The coin deserved the grade it got, right?
    Did people say it was over graded in the NGC holder? If not, then what bubble bursting?

    As usual you are clueless. I don't know why I take the time to explain it to you but I will. Every time the topic comes up NGC vs PCGS grading of Franklins, the koolaid drinkers clamor on and on how PCGS grades one grade tougher. Obviously the submitter has a good eye and doesn't buy into that. That is all, simple enough for you? Now go stink on someone else, your opinions and statements are meaningless to me.

    Who CARES about so-called "koolaid drinkers"? You are a moron for even caring. Obviously, you don't add much to a conversation so you feel you need to be "funny" and "sarcastic" about it.

    Clear enough for you?
