I agree with MS64 and think maybe VAM3B. Yes, nice clashes...  |

Yep, it's VAM 3B. Nice call. Problem with my images is they really make the coin look worse than it is... here's what it looks like without the harsh LED lighting and macro imaging... it's a very nice coin.  |

FWIW I think this is a 65. I've seen 65's in hand, and this is just as nice, if not a bit nicer, than them.

Does PCGS keep them in the case now? If not stay w/ NGC so it stays intact.

Showed it to a dealer today, he thinks it's a 65.

Looks like it's G-4.

I say MS-64+

Dealer's optimistic, IMO. That said, your images are too large and too detailed (think about that) to be honestly indicative of the true grade unless you've seen a *bunch* of high-res imagery of coinage in a given MS grade. I almost wonder sometimes if we should throw these up here at 650 pixels in diameter for a true-to-life opinion of grade.

What you have to remember is my lighting technique exposes details... and also flaws. The hits in front of the face are nowhere near as prevalent in-hand, and the grazes on the cheek are just that, very light grazes. If I diffused the light more and adjusted the positions of the lights, the coin would look much cleaner, much more like it does in-hand. Out of the 6 GSA's I showed him, he called three 65's, two 64's, and one a 63. We will find out, I am waiting until I have ten to send in. Six so far, another one coming in the next few days (images below) and hopefully two more over the next week or so.   |
