I guess this proves that handling thousands of graded coins every year for 17 years doesn't make some people competent graders.

Thanks for the enlargements. I'd say 64 tops as well.

The coin you posted is an ugly 64 at that not unlike its owner.

Contact marks are only half the grade. At gem and above luster and eye appeal are paramount.
That said I agree your coin is likely a 64 and possibly a 65 on a good.

The luster on the PCGS coin is dramatically better than on your coin. We can only go by what we see in the pictures you present.

You may be one of those people who blindly rely on an opinion from someone who took 5 seconds to assess your coin. Here we like to think for ourselves. You should learn to grade instead of relying on the work others. That lesson applies beyond just coin grading.

 edit to add - on your way out I suggest you take your coin photos and condescending attitude and post both on Collectors Universe, lol...

Quote:you guys really have no clue what your doing You guys are like flea market coin dealers and noobs Haha now you guys are just salty, same old ebay and flea market coin guys that been here forever The stupidity of the comments on this site Well Johnson my boy, with comments like that, I certainly can't say that your just trying to kiss up to the forum so they give you the grades you're looking for. On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised to see some VF grades coming your way, maybe even an details comment or two.

I am one of the noobs that puts the coin at MS64 with a outside chance of MS65.

I don't think the pictures are doing this coin any justice. Pictures aren't sharp enough and I think direct sunlight is causing the surfaces and luster to look more impaired than it really is. Fields do look clean, and I'll take a stab and say those cheek marks are pretty superficial. MS65 for me, with a possibility of a one point swing either way with better pics
@Johnsonr29, the comments about the forum members competency in grading is a bit unnecessary. Take a look at previous posts with accurate pictures and you'll find the group consensus is pretty darn accurate. We can only base grade on the photos provided. That said, either your photos aren't doing the coin justice, or your expectations are high. We won't know until we see accurate photos.

@Johnson29 - It's not often we get a chance to learn from someone with your experience.
