I'm not an authority of Barbers, but my tired eyes tells me this is a pretty nice specimen. The pics are the owners (not mine) He tells me it does have some cartwheel and luster and it's toning. The holder is from the 80's. Just wondered if this coin is better than the grade of MS63 or Spot On? Appreciate any comments...Thanks!   |

Obverse pic is slightly out of focus, making it difficult to see the surface details clearly.

I would have thought a higher grade if you would have posted it as a "guess the grade"

MS63 is probably about right

 Strike is a bit soft as evidenced by the loss of detail on the upper right of the shield (unless the lighting washed out that area. |

Appears the grade is accurate at 63.

I feel MS-63 is fair, might be able to squeeze in a +.

i think the missing luster across the highest points on both sides along with a little less than a full strike will hold this one to MS63

62/63 for me. The weakness on the reverse is a little distracting.

I was good to go at $350 at the live auction. That would put me right at full blown PCGS Guide. WOW....I was wrong! This coin kept going and going until it finalized at $510.00 which would put this coin at a 64+ Range  Nice enough coin but sometimes live auctions (just throw out the book) can be a head slapper  Maybe just maybe the OGH had a draw on this one? I like the old holders myself but just couldn't see this coin capturing that kind of purse. Good Thing...money not spent here allowed me to spend on other goodies within my tight wad budget...lol! |
