This coin has a nice slight golden tone that doesn't show up in the closer pictures. In the first picture, there is a hair on the slab, it's not a coin scratch. 1938 D/S in a PCGS rattler holder -- your grade thoughts?   Thanks for looking.

AU58 but since it's in an older holder, the grade is probably much better than MS60, it's hard to tell from the photos, I see great luster in the fields but what looks rub on the higher devices.
Since it only makes sense to submit these when really high grade (especially back when the rattlers were current) I'd say PCGS gave it an MS65.

Going to take a wild guess, shot in the dark @ MS64

Luster is there so I'm going with MS65 now.

Coin is in a MS graded holder for sure, no AU. I will take better pictures when I have coin in hand.

Most of the people who got MS got the 65 part right, too!  I will have CAC take a look at it. PCGS MS65  Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

I had this at AU58. What threw me was what looked like some slight wear on the horn and tail. Tough one
