Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 7:47 pm This is my first "big boy purchase". This coin is very lustrous with only a little bit of abrasion scattered around the surfaces. There's some very minor haze visible at extreme angles. All considered I do not believe this would get a CAC sticker. However, I'm still happy with my purchase. A braver man than I would crack this out and dip it Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 8:04 pm By the way, if anyone has any ideas about the VAM on this one I'm all ears lol. Looks like it's a medium S and I can see doubling on the outside of the lower loop of the second "8", but can't see doubling anywhere else. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 9:45 pm Thank you all for your opinions! I am sorry about the poor quality photos, I will be getting a new phone next weekend with better macro capability so that should hopefully help. T-Bop, I understand your opinion. Personally, I feel the coin is just a little too clean to be a 67. I feel the 68 is deserved, but it certainly isn't a "strong" 68. This was purchased on ebay, fromms. I offered what I believe to be a conservative price considering the coin and it wad accepted. Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 09:28 am Very nice Morgan, @Adam_E. Given that this is a PCGS OGH, some say that they were more strict with their grading at that time and less interested in market grading. I wonder what she would grade if submitted today?

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2282 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 3:11 pm My first impressions is no way that's a 68 You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff
