 I'd go with MS64, but I think they gave it a 66. |

A 63 at best imo. Look at those marks on the eagle's head! And there are plenty of marks on focal areas of the obverse too.

A lot of contact marks for a quarter, therefore MS61/62 at best.

The dies which struck this coin are quite worn. Loose some value because of this.
There is an ugly row of contact marks on the reverse, extending the the eagle's breast, and up into the neck.
Without those marks, MS64, MS62 or 1 with them, unfortunately.

Since you were astounded Flip, I'm going to guess that it was because the grade was a little lower than you'd expect. So I'll say AU58.

A few of you were right on the money (pun intended)! PCGS must have missed this coin in quality control, because they gave it a...

Sell that slab as quickly as you can! However, if you are going to be honest, at least say something about those contact marks.
For example: "Some small contact marks on the reverse."
A professional coin dealer with a reputation to protect would at least do that.

That one is a black eye for PCGS.

Wow. The grader must've been in a really good mood when he graded that one. Maybe leaving for vacation the next day?

I think the PCGS grader must have had a good night before with his missus!

Remember the coin is graded for many things, one being the Year of the coin, I did think the coin would be graded a solid 63, chatter and all, and are also in shock about the grade. I see the wear from the dies, and am thinking about what people say on this site, that they would trust a PCGS slab unseen over other TPG'S, I do NOT trust anyone grading my coins, I do not need people to give me "their opinions" about my coins. It does show that the grading "Game" is a very subjective topic, I will trust my eyes and keep my money, putting it towards more coins, instead of sending them to another person who charges me to grade coins, why would I do that...... I am foremost a collector, not a seller ......:) JMO....... |
