I've only owned it a little over an hour and here are some shots I just took.
Give me your best guess at the grade and I'll post the (NGC) holder a little later.

    Is the title a hint?

    Regardless of grade, I think it's fugly. Sorry.
  • tightbudgettightbudget Posts: 7,299 ✭✭✭
    62. Seems a little lackluster to go any higher.

    Wow...63? But I don't think you would buy a 63 looking like this...so....65? hmmm

    I like it- and 65 seems possible

    Great strike and very few contact marks. But I hope that's just a bad pic, because that dollar is hating life.

    Pat,

    Does it look different (better?) with an angled light source?

    I know you and your coins and there is usually something quirky going on image

    Your one of my favorite people here, but I have got to say I don't like this one, it's just not nice at all. Sorry bud, and I also wonder if it's real....

    I'll guess an original, but(t) ugly 66. image

    Of course, this is after image

    I crossed myself after looking at! No offense Braddick, truly image

    Best,

  • That's a little toooo original. image

    I'm sure the enlargements make it look a lot worse than it looks in hand. As the man says, have fun with your coin!

    It might be dark but I think 62 is a little harsh, I was thinking 64 at least.
    Many happy BST transactions

    Believe it or not, 62 is what I thought when seeing the first photos....

    ...and 62 is what it graded.

    Wow... I don't care for it even at 62... that one rested someplace nasty for a while. Cheers, RickO

    Sorry,but that is the UGLIEST coin that I have seen this year. Make that last year too, oh make it the last decade.
  • stealerstealer Posts: 4,035 ✭✭✭✭
    You might want to tweak your WB, the pictures probably make it look darker than it actually. The NGC insert looks like the wrong color (maybe you set it to B&W?)
  • mr1931Smr1931S Posts: 6,412 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm sure the enlargements make it look a lot worse than it looks in hand

    I'm not so sure about that.Where does the person doing the grading draw the line?

    MS62 assignment for a coin that looks this bad tends to make putting MS numbers on coins a farce.

    Now if it were established that this dollar was on the Hindenburg when it crashed i could go along

    with the MS 62 grade.

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

    Just curious, what did you expect and why did you post it?
  • MrScienceMrScience Posts: 758 ✭✭✭
    What does it look like in color? Given the appearance of the label, these images have some serious color balance issues! image

    Is this some crazy VAM or something and I'm looking at a $6,000 coin?
