1926 S LWC For Grading

I'll split the difference and say AU-50. 26-S in higher grades? NICE!

Very nice example! AU-55

AU55, but more importantly an mid early die state, with good spacing. You don't often see these with this much detail. I'd rather have this one than a 64bn that was "mushy"

Based on other's opinions, I will say AU-50

On reflection, I was clearly too low at 45 by a solid 10 points, but I sure don't see 64 here.

Very nice! Now that I look again, I should have said AU-63. The friction on the hair, cheek, beard and lapel gets me....along with the MDS obverse. However, the reverse is 64 all day long IMO. I'm still surprised they didn't 63 that coin. As I recall, even on photograde this coin matches the 63 example. My bet is this coin has eye appeal and cartwheels under the brown. Those make a strong case for a higher grade as well as being a key date. These are known for their rather soft strikes.

Thanks for sharing!

I think the luster on this one gives it away really fast as an MS example. I'm keeping my eye out for it as I buy more of these. Many BN examples seem undergraded.

I like as a 65BN based on the PCGS pictures!
