Latest 1960 Small Date in my collection. How would you grade it.

1960-LMC-Grade.


1960-LMC-Grade.

1960-LMC-Grade.

Noticed an extra line in the 6 but I'm not sure what that is.

I'm struggling with this one. If it's MS I'd go with a weakly struck 64 Red.
I'm seeing just enough things that make me want to go with AU58 though.

Obverse: trace of a fingerprint at 5:30, not sure if it's a die issue or a hint of rub in the beard. Bag marks all over the body.
Reverse: I'm thinking this is weakly struck but I'm seeing a lack of luster below the weakly struck steps. Makes me think it was carried around in a pocket for a day. I'm interested in what's going on with the base of the T also.

I'm going to go with AU 58.

I will get better pictures of it when I have my camera and lighting at home. on the T is a bag mark or something. It does have full steps I think with the camera and the lighting my hands are a little to shake to take pictures.
I dont believe that its a finger print at the 5:30 marking not exactly sure what they are but they are straight lines.

I will update pictures when I get home. (as long as my wife didnt hide the camera)

Much better pics. Not nearly as mushy the original pics made it look.
Most definately MS.
I struggle at grading MS. I don't see any major problems with the fields on either side which usually is the first thing I look at. Looking at the fields by themselves I'd be tempted to call this a 64 they're not pristine, but they aren't any big distractions either. That said, there are just so many bag marks on the obverse bust. I quit counting at 16. I think were this my coin in my hand I'd grade it at 62. If someone else called it a 63 I'd be fine with that. If I sent it in to a grading company and it came back 61 I'd understand that as well.

The thing I'm most interested about with this coin now is on the reverse. What's going on right around the e.p of epluribus and the . before unum?

Too much going on in the fields IMO.
