Just came back from ICCS. I'll share the grade in a few days.   |

Looks like ICCS is more conservative than you guys on this one. They gave it an AU-50 grade. I tend to think it deserves higher as well, but that's how the grading game works some times.

Probably worth crossing to NGC or PCGS, IMO. ICCS is always conservative with weaker strikes.

In defense of anyone trying to grade Edward. Because weak strikes were so prevalent, the grading is all over the map.

For me the back up the AU grade, there is a ton of bag marks. But the high points are sharp. tough one. I think it gets MS + with an american grader.

For what it's worth, the coin isn't nearly as baggy as the pictures seem to indicate. My camera isn't the best and seems to distort the light when photographing through the plastic. When the photos are blown up, that shows up like bag marks. The coin is actually very lustrous, and the only bag mark that's visible under magnification (and only at certain angles when the light catches it) is the one below the leaves at 11:00 on the reverse.
If anybody has any tips on taking coin photos on a smart phone, I'm happy to give it another shot.

AU-50 really surprises me. I would have thought no less than 55. Nice example in any event.

Weak strike on the crown, but weak hair also. Either 58 or 63.
