Well, I took my time with this one.  Wouldn't be at all surprised to see it in a 66 slab. |

Well, I would wait to see what others thought but it seems most of us agree so far. This is in a first generation PCGS slab and I believe its very undergraded.I picked this one up last week,just because I couldn't believe the grade.   |

I can see why collectors pay good money for the opinions of PCGS !!! I have been wrong all these years !! Those guys know their stuff !!  I am never going to learn to grade these coins with this type of thing going on !! Metalman Edited by Metalman

Rick,
I believe this is a rare one. I have never seen one so undergraded,compared to the grading thats done today.I have heard it said that the old green lables were undergraded but this is the first I have seen of it.

Very clean looking coin. Is that a rim hit at 1 o'clock? This one looks to be on the coin and not part of the slab as the other 2 are. How much do rim hits play in the grading of these? I could see it as a 66 if that's not a hit. Just my opinion.

Mike,
There are no rim hits on this coin.What you are seeing is part of the encapsulation that holds the coin in place.Although rim dings will downgrade a coin in general.

I'd be interested to see what that comes back as. You are going to resubmit it aren't you?

Mike, No I'm not going too.Unless I was sure it would come back two full points higher then It would be worth it.If it came back as MS64 then it would have been money spent for nothing.  |

TLS, I think it would depend on what you spent on this bad boy. RedBook has MS64 at $65. If you paid ~$30, I personally think it may be worth the chance...Especially since it could come back graded a 65 or 66. Just doing the math in my head is all. But I do wonder how high they would go if you sent it in in the original slab  . Do you think you'd have to send it in raw to have a chance of seeing 66? |

As tight as grading is right now,I doubt it would see MS66.MS65 maybe,MS64 likely.At that grade I would lose money having it graded.I paid $40 for it, you can figure another $30 to have it graded with shipping costs.If it came back MS64 I would lose money.

I see enough chatter in the field in front of the portrait to keep this beauty out of a 66 holder, but the coin sings ms65 all day long. Please, keep this girl in the first generation rattler......the rattler holders are collectible by themselves and are worth a premium. TLS5933, these are not what we refer to as green label holders, they were about 2 generations later and look similar to the blue labeled pcgs slabs of today. Edited by hadleydog
