Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 5:20 pm I bought this raw in April and had it graded at PCGS, I just took some pictures of it today that I don't think are too bad. I'm not super satisfied with how they turned out as I don't feel they do the coin justice, but they get the point across. There's a lot of luster, and I am having a difficult time capturing it accurately. Nevertheless, what do you think it graded?

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 7:28 pm I would think no less than 66. If that label says anything less you scored. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15493 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 7:44 pm Beautiful coin indeed .. I'm not an expert on the series in MS state ... so my MS66 guess is simply an informed opinion from a fellow collector. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
duncanbishop24 Pillar of the Community United States 898 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 7:50 pm Yeah I would also peg at 66, however I'm not sure if I could properly identify between that and anything higher. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 10:11 pm Well it looks like I'm the first one to call it a 67 without saying maybe or can possibly make 66-67 . Superb breast and leg feathers . Obverse real nice. Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7196 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 10:26 pm MS 66 for me Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 10:43 pm It has nice lustre, but the mark on Liberty's cheek does look pretty noticeable. Since that looks to be this coin's only flaw, I would be at MS-65. Edited by Joseph7420 08/15/2017 10:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
