grovey Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 11/02/2005 5:10 pm This is part of the short set I'm building. so far 41-45 and a 44d. this and the 44 in my opinion are the 2 nicest I do a have a 45 ms64 pcgs and just won a 45s ms64 pcgs. I am so hoping this would make the 65 grade the luster and eye appeal are just awesome, I wish I could capture the luster in the pics. Thanks for the help. -Gil http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...robverse.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...rreverse.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Connecticoin Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 11/02/2005 10:05 pm 63 / 64, if the luster is good. There is a reed mark on Miss Liberty's head, and the middle skirt lines do not appear full, plus a few marks in the field that the scan is hiding. Report this Post to the Staff

Stephen420 Valued Member United States 411 Posts	Posted 11/03/2005 6:14 pm Hi. Nice coin! I think a lot of what appears to be going on with this coin is actually problems with the holder. It looks like a good strike. Even though the photo is a little too blurry and shiny, there is some detail in the left hand which you wouldn't see if it were a weak strike. The reed-mark on Miss L's face is too serious to give this coin an MS65, but I think the apparant lack of any serious marks other than the reed mark, an MS64 would be fair.

grovey Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 11/04/2005 9:31 pm I have heard everything from 65 to 60...not feeling to confident right now. Maybe I'll just put in back in the safe deposit box. I almost don't want to know I did have high aspirations for it but right now I really don't want to know. might be too upsetting. Report this Post to the Staff

national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 11/05/2005 07:53 am quote: Originally posted by grovey not feeling to confident right now. Grovey, this one is a 63. If you spent the extra money on a walk-through at a major show you may pick up a 64. Report this Post to the Staff
SFDukie Pillar of the Community United States 980 Posts	Posted 11/08/2005 11:24 am Thanks Rick. Grovey-it's still a pretty coin. I know it is trite, but as long as you like the walker, whether it is a 63, 64 or 65 isn't critical. Most of US spend way more than the resale differential on dinner and a movie without putting much thought into it... Don Report this Post to the Staff
