Low Grade Grant...

That Grant must have had a huge strike before someone carried it around in their pocket for 50 years.

Here are 3 coins that were graded MS67 by PCGS. The monogram is very strong in two coins and almost not there in the other. You would think that it would be somewhat dependent on strike? But it seems that the coin with the most detail on the collar (bottom) is the strongest in both areas yet the top photo lacks collar detail but has a strong monogram. Maybe different dies? This seems a mystery.

On the one I have, at first glance in hand I thought it was a bagmark until I looked under mag and saw that it was indeed the monogram.

seemingly weaker strike, no monogram yet die polish

a strong strike with hardly a monogram


seemingly stong strike and very detailed monogram, also tons of die polish


Here is my example... very strong collar detail. strong strike, die polish but definitely not the strongest monogram.

I sent the seller a question regarding the 'damages' noted in the listing.

Have purchased from them before on E-Pray ... lets see what they say.

Thanks. Interesting for sure. Your example looks almost if it has prooflike fields? Did you certify it or buy it slabbed?

Yes, I have bought a few coins from that seller as well. A Peace and a couple of Washingtons.
