What do you think this might grade?   |

I am more skilled at grading circulated coins. After MS-60 the subjectivity and wide variation of opinion goes beyond my ability. Nevertheless, the reverse looks BU to me. The tips of the ears of corn are a key and it appears from the lighting to have quite a lot of mint luster. The obverse I am not sure of because I can't make out all the hairlines on Liberty's head. There also appears to be some scratches or marks on the right hand side of the obverse? The picture is somewhat washed out or over exposed. Do you have a darker one? Looks promising.

I'm completely ignorant regarding this issue, so take me with a grain of salt.  There wasn't much additional photographic information to be squeezed out:   The obverse, in this pic, certainly looks like it's either worn or a poor strike. Note that some stars are divided, while most aren't. The hair above the forehead and the bow are eye-catchers, as is the lower left of the reverse. I'll be watching additional opinions with interest. |

Yeah I noticed the differences in the stars also Dave. Looks like a weak strike to me. I'll throw my final Two Cents in and say AU-50. |

This is a coin from one of my trusted sellers but many of his pictures are grainy (as with the 1907 cent) I bought from him.He says it still has almost full mint luster.The pics I posted are ones of his I tried to help.  but atlas,there was no help to be had,as you figured out Dave.  I don't know anything about these coins and as I delve into new currancy I will need help trying to grade some of these. |

I'm sort of interested in this issue, as I believe there's a lot of room for growth with it. Demand is fairly low at the moment, so you can get into them with a lot of potential for future profit.

About the coin in question this one was graded by PCGS as MS-64 and my 83 no cents was graded at 63 by NGC, thats about all I know   |

The hair looks pretty worn on the obverse, but the details of the reverse are superb. Confusing coin.

Beautiful coins Bryan! Makes my two type examples of Cents and No Cents in XF-40 look drab. You will see some rapid increases in value for those two. Is that a Dansco 7070 album I see?

okie-coin yes they were cracked out of the slabs and put into a Dansco7070. But the reason I posted is because to me the NGC 63 looks allot better than the PCGS 64 so my grading skills are lacking on these things. I just checked again and it wasn't a 63 by NGC it was graded a 62 by NGC but 64 by PCGS was correct and still the NGC coin looks better to me and its 2 whole grades lower

I agree Bryan, but I suspect that the later dates in this issue are commonly weakly struck. They may be taking that into account, not wear since both are BU.

thats a very good point, I don't know what I was thinking, they are both MS coins and its the nicks and such not the strike that detracts from the grade, that is just hard for me to remember for some reason when one coins strike looks better than the other but that is a excellent point
