I received my Stone Mountain back from NGC today. Some of you took a guess at the grade before I sent it off awhile back, but I'm posting some better photos to take a crack at it one more time. I'll post the grade they gave it in a couple of days. I'll also post a few more coins when I get new photos taken.  |

SilverStackerKid was right on it... MS63. I'm happy with grade and have to say that this Commemorative has a silky luster and wonderful colors in hand!  |

With an MS grade, NGC does not see any wear.
I also fail to see wear, so in my opinion what MS grade it gets, boils down as to what minor detracting nicks and scratches you can find. Bit of a light strike on the Eagle's breast feathers; the patination seems to be completely undisturbed in this area.
63 seems OK to me as well.

That is a nice example.  I feel that lustre plays a big part in the grading of a coin. Here is my Stone Mountain in 65: Looks very similar to yours.  |

LeeG, that is gorgeous! I have to admit that I'm super jealous, lol. Thanks for sharing.
PS - Who took your photos?

Thank you. It's in an old NGC holder that I purchased out of a Stacks Bowers auction. |

Night-Hawk,
That top example you show is pretty cool.
What's your reference for that?
