The two gouges on the obverse kill it for me. I would not have gone higher than 40 TPGMember ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

I thought this coin would grade at least 45 when I sent it in to NGC. I have been a supporter of NGC for years but lately I'm not so sure. Next batch might go to PCGS. I'm not sure if that's a knock on NGC or a compliment...depends on your perspective. I guess your saying NGC grading is too conservative? I agree with the XF-40 grade. |

It's her dimples. Some people think they are cute, others not as much. Great coin!

I would also say XF45. I have one also graded XF40 from SEGS I think is slightly overgraded, probably VF35, but you definitely see a wide range of grades for similar looks coins of this type.

I think this one might make EF-45. Sending to TPG's is always a crap shoot. That's why so many coins get sent in over and over. |

I would agree with 45 for the obverse without question. The reverse may have pulled it down.

It may not be the smoothest 45 I've ever seen but I do think it has the requirements for the grade ..... IMHO

It has EF sharpness, but it was also cleaned at one point. NGC probably ignored that.

it doesn't really have the surface for a 45, and it would EAC in the upper VF range

looks like an unattrective 40 due to the 3 digs in the face
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
