I think the more important skill is to be able to evaluate coins at auction with scans rather than photographs. In this day and age when so much potential business is available online only, it behooves us as collectors to incorporate the evaluation of all types of online imaging into our skillsets. That's an ongoing process for everyone - even though I've been doing this for quite a while I'm always ready to change my opinion of what I'm seeing based on new evidence. Question everything, most importantly yourself. |

I will guess MS-64 with a possibility of MS-65.

I must be seeing more hits on the cheek than the others, I'm going MS62 maybe a 63, hopefully it's not as poorly graded as my 1921 ANACS, I put up a couple of months ago. https://goccf.com/t/108179I got robbed on that one!

Interesting. Were it not for the reeding ding behind the eye, I'd think this a different coin. Your scanner is....optimistic.  The darker "scratches" seen on the cheek in the scan are pretty much confirmed as unimportant in the images; indeed, some of them do not show up at all. The obverse fields seem a little "busier" than the scans indicated, and the gouge at the hairline draws the eye a little more. The reverse is still very, very nice. I'm thinking 65 now. |

I'll post the real grade later this evening. If anyone else wants to take a stab at re-grading, go for it!

Looking at the reflection of your camera in the pictures, I'd say it has a good shot at a PL grade, therefore, MS64PL...

As numismaniac put it the very first post, and RJP put it the very last post, she grades MS64. I'm happy with her there, as I clearly got the coin and not the slab. I think it was very close to PL though. Good grading everyone!   |
