Cracked out of a PCGS problem free slab. Lots of luster and dark chocolate surfaces. What did she grade? [URL="https://imageshack.com/i/nbkyzpj]  [/URL] [URL="https://imageshack.com/i/0s9edmj]  [/URL] |

That coin looks mint state to me, but I'm not comfortable assigning a grade with confidence. MS62 from rim nick

This is a beautiful coin. I think I see some wear in the hair above the ear so I would give it an AU58.

I was also thinking MS-62, but I'm not sure what to make of the nick on the rim at 3 o'clock on the obverse and how it affects the grade

 MS62BN the rim knock does trouble me on this coin, hopefully it's not too bad since PCGS had it in a problem free holder before, I'm guessing it was in an older holder where the rims are obscured?

Because PCGS graded it I'll go Au58. I think NGC could have been MS on this.

Thanks for the opinions. The rim bump looks worse in the photos than it does in hand...its just a slight tick, and doesn't bother me since it now resides in an album anyways. It came out of a brand new holder and was graded MS-63. The luster is very strong, stronger than I captured, and this probably helped raise the grade.

Thanks Moe! I really love the 7070, hooked on it. I have completed all necessary upgrades to the Half Cents, since they all have original surfaces and nice luster. Next on the list is the Coronet Large Cent. I am happy with my classic head large cent(problem free XF-45).....but eventually will want to upgrade the draped bust large cent to a nice AU, but that one will be really pricey...:-P My overall goal is to have all type examples with original surfaces and noticable cartwheel luster; but that goal will never be fully attained, as a lustrous Classic Head Large Cent would be extremely expensive to the point where if I purchased one; I would not want to risk deslabbing it. |
