Just got this back from NGC and thought they were a bit harsh. Just want to see what everyone thought before reveling the actual grade given.   |

Nice even circulation rub, some luster, toning is somewhat of a hold back due to being so spotty; AU53.

From your comment I assume they went XF45. The wear on the thigh and breast area and lack of luster knocked it down but I still would expect AU50 on it.

I just had one of these graded by NGC myself. They are tougher but more consistent than PCGS. I would expect this one to have received a 45 or 50.

I'd say au50, I have a couple with just a little more circulation that graded xf45, but that one is definitely nicer.

EF45 but could easily go AU with that much remaining luster peeking out.

and the grade was...XF 45. I really though this one should have been AU 53 at least. The obverse does appear to have a little wear on the leg, but the reverse is solid AU 55. I sent another one in at the same time that came back XF 40. This one was MUCH better...Maybe I will send it to PCGS on my next submission. Thanks for the opinions!  |
