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.

MS62?

TexasNationals · January 17, 2012 9:41AM

That eagles face is creeeeepppppy

Barry · January 17, 2012 9:44AM

Is the title a hint?

Regardless of grade, I think it's fugly. Sorry.

tightbudget · January 17, 2012 9:49AM

62. Seems a little lackluster to go any higher.

uofa1285 · January 17, 2012 9:52AM

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

coinkat · January 17, 2012 9:55AM

I like it- and 65 seems possible

etexmike · January 17, 2012 10:07AM

Could the time also be the grade?

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

segoja · January 17, 2012 10:12AM

I grade it ugly.

Sorry Pat

Bah1513 · January 17, 2012 10:21AM

Not an expert, don't like the color, was it made in China......

noow · January 17, 2012 10:22AM

So.. waited 62 minutes to post?

MS62

Bochiman · January 17, 2012 10:32AM

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

crazyhounddog · January 17, 2012 10:41AM

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....

LeeBone · January 17, 2012 10:44AM

So what gives?

braddick · January 17, 2012 11:03AM

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, sheeeeesh.
Really?

pakasmom · January 17, 2012 11:05AM

MS 62 - 62 ways a coin can be unattractive and still be "mint state."

donzme · January 17, 2012 11:15AM

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

Of course, this is after

ModernDollarNut · January 17, 2012 11:46AM

But will it cross?????

magikbilly · January 17, 2012 12:06PM

<< <i>But will it cross????? >>

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

Best,
Eric

Justlooking · January 17, 2012 5:48PM

That's a little toooo original.

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!

cheezhed · January 17, 2012 11:42PM

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

MikeInFL · January 18, 2012 12:19AM

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

...and 62 is what it graded.

ricko · January 18, 2012 2:23AM

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

AnkurJ · January 18, 2012 2:35AM

64

golden · January 18, 2012 3:45AM

Sorry,but that is the UGLIEST coin that I have seen this year. Make that last year too, oh make it the last decade.

stealer · January 18, 2012 6:48AM

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?)

mr1931S · January 18, 2012 7:43AM

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.
