ziskindd Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/16/2013 06:23 am Excellent! It is graded as a G-6, despite part of the reverse rim being worn. My theories are 1. rarer coins get the benefit of a higher grade when on the bubble. 2. The obverse is a strong 6, and the reverse is a "5", so net a 5.75 ->6 (from the argument above). 3. If you use 4 x magnigication, the rim does not touch any of the lettering (close-but no cigar). 4 Finally, there are some details on the eagle, including a few letters in E P U. BTW, I have seen examples of PCGS 06s that are just as bad in terms of the wear of the denticles and other devices. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/16/2013 1:07 pm IMHO, it is a G-4 but I am not surprised that it got a slight bump because it is a key date. Personally, I would like to see stronger definition in the leaves and jawline for a G-6. Here is one that I feel is about right for a G-6: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...5&lotNo=3613 Even though I feel it is slightly overgraded, it is still a very nice coin and worth owning if the price is right.

ziskindd Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 08:24 am Yes, I believe it got the G-6 because of the reasons I listed and also its NGC, although I have seen some PCGS G6 examples (with CAC beans also!) that are poorer. I added to the Sheldon scale rant in the other forum as to why there is no G-5 used, yet it right there on paper. Report this Post to the Staff
