That's a tough call on the coin, but 81-s is an immaculate year of superb strikes. your first photo showing a slight wear on the hair above the ear made me think, Questionable 65 grade, but the fields are remarkable....66 plus...but the slight hash marks over the 4th star and above the date are an eye catcher, still a tough call

I awaited your images because the photography techniques we teach here emphasize both sharpness and contrast, and even capable photographers sometimes fall short of that latter, to their detriment. As the egregia cum laude graduate of our program, I expect your imagery to be as close to holding the coin in-hand as it gets.
This one proves your mettle.
It's a CAC green 65, maybe a 65+ because of the fantastic cheek but no better. In the context of the times of that slab, accurately graded. Probably as good a 65 as any of us will ever see, but a 65.

Even though it is graded MS65, I'm still sticking strong that it might be able to pull off a 66 if it's resubmitted. Maybe MS66 net 65 due to the obverse @ 4 o'clock?

Is there a difference in the color of their beans? I thought they were all green?

Basically green means solid for the grade & gold means it should be a grade higher as I understand it.

It is a beautiful coin no matter what number the label says but as the owner would you be more inclined to keep it slabbed as is WITH the gold bean or resubmit hoping it will come back as a 66?

As long as I own the coin, it will stay in the old NGC holder with a gold CAC sticker. These holders are getting harder to find, and gold stickers aren't given out too often at CAC. The combination of these attributes only makes the slab more appealing to collectors. If it was slabbed in a new MS-66 holder, it would just be another run-of-the-mill 66 with nice toning. |
