kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 08:05 am I don't see any luster breaks nor any nasty scratches or dings. Based on that I'd say at least MS-64 and up. Report this Post to the Staff
scottk Pillar of the Community United States 767 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 08:51 am I don't know how to grade a coin like this Celtic, but Wow! It looks perfect. I don't see any problems at all on it. If I was a basement slabber, this would certainly be a pf70+. Edit* truthfully, about the only thing I see is a little scratch under the word mountain. Everything else is too trivial to really deduct much over. Some toning beginning around ICA in America, which is nice. I don't see why it couldn't go ms66.

Night-Hawk Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 09:53 am Scratches on lower obverse are probably not as bad as pics depict, not enough to warrant a details grade but may knock it down a grade. Nice clear fields, decent strike, this one looks 65 or better. Edited by Night-Hawk 02/14/2015 10:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 11:08 am In all honesty I didn't see the scratches in hand. It wasn't until I took the close up photo that I saw them. Those scratches are probably the reason it's not slabbed. Edited by Celticsoul 02/14/2015 11:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 12:09 pm What I'm seeing on your coin NightHawk that I'mnot seeing on mine is where Lee's horses reins cross his holster. That's the difference between high grade and really high grade. Report this Post to the Staff
