dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/25/2011 10:17 am Looks like an earlier strike off that die pair but not early enough for DMPL. Nice frosty devises and little or no flow lines off the letters and stars. Still, it looks like a 62 or 63 to me because of the contact marks on the cheek and neck. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/25/2011 10:26 am Nice cartwheel! I don't think this would be a DMPL but is still a nice MS-63+. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 09/25/2011 5:21 pm I think this is more like a strong MS-64, because those contact marks looks more like luster grazes to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 10:08 pm I think ShadowCreator is right MS64. I don't see any reflection. Put something up next to the coin to see if there is a reflection. If there is take another pic so we all can see. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm a total noob at this, but I was thinking MS-63. And what the heck is a "luster graze" ? Edit : Never mind, I Googled it myself and learned something toady.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 09/28/2011 01:05 am I agree with MS-63, with no DMPL or PL qualities. Looks like a problem-free, attractive coin. Perfect for a type set! Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 09/28/2011 12:34 pm I would say this one is a solid MS-64 there are some luster scuffs, which don't matter for that grade, and just a couple of very minor hits on the obverse cheek and fields. I won't go 65 on it but I will say closer to 65 than 63. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5650 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 11:08 pm I because of the bag marks and obvious wear on the Obv and Rev coupled with the scratches, especially on Anna's face, MS62....... Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 05:21 am Most people are still forgetting that an MS64/5 coin must have a problem free cheek! for the last 2 years from the TPG's however its clearly shown by older coins already graded a lot of chatter can be present om the older holdered coins. ESPECIALLY NGC....Morgans dad has it correct at MS62 a fair assesment by todays standards.... one must remember don't by the holder buy the coin...this is the exact reason so many have re-submitted coins......If your happy with MS65 its A OK by me..its whats on the holder...

bigjpst New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 11:26 am IMO this coin is a strong MS63. If it were just a couple luster scuffs on the cheek I would say it had a shot at 64, but it looks like a couple small nicks and too much chatter on the fields to go any higher. And no on the DMPL Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 12:33 pm MS-62 coins usually have impaired luster, large hits to the cheek, and many hits to the fields. This coin exhibits none of that. No chance a TPG would give this less than a 63. Report this Post to the Staff
