sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 10:01 pm I would say a bit below 65 because of the scuff marks in the obv. field, but it is a really top condition anyway. Nicely struck. MS63 or 4. Way better than any of mine. Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 10:41 pm I think ICCS would grade it ms62 or ms63. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 10:46 pm Great coin but not sure how much the strike weakness in the crown and shield will hurt the grade. Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 05:29 am The little toning on the reverse takes away from eye appeal,the little dings don't help either but, still very nice coin. MS-62 Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 1:09 pm My ICCS MS63 doesn't have this cameo on the obverse--nice! Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 1:36 pm Nice coin! MS64,weakness of the reverse is typical. Report this Post to the Staff
Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 1:38 pm Probably MS63. Looks like it has been dipped and is starting to retone. Very hard to judge the lustre (or lack thereof) in pictures of these kinds of pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
littlemoney Pillar of the Community Canada 902 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 3:48 pm I'll have to go with MS-64 Report this Post to the Staff
wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 7:59 pm Thank-you all for your opinions, much appreciated. I have had this coin since 1986 and will be sending it to ICCS for grading soon. I will post a picture of the flip when I get it back to share the results. I personally grade it as a MS63 and possibly a MS64. It may be one obverse mark too many for MS64. Also one grade point can be considerable difference in value. Also was impressed with the quality of grading from CCF members as the opinions given were close and not all over the map. The coin is a original coin and never dipped or cleaned. Thanks again for your opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
