dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 08:38 am I was going to ask for better images. Tough to grade a toned coin such as this one from these static images. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 1:14 pm Well, here is the answer. The image quality is what Heritage provided at time of auction, with only the 2 images. Makes me wonder if the Seller was aware of this. Needless to say, it sold at a discount to the same date and grade with better eye appeal at the time of auction. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11902 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 1:19 pm Looks overgraded. Imho, coins with such weak strikes should not grade gem. The hair is flat above the ear and in other parts of the hair, detail is missing. That is not an issue about eye appeal, but an objective issue about the quality of the coin.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 1:33 pm I can't say if it's over-graded or even under-graded but I sure wouldn't have paid MS66 money for it based on these images and you didn't... Report this Post to the Staff
jmwilson Valued Member 240 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 10:25 am Nailed it! Like I said... I've seen this before. The eye appeal is lacking. However, the coin doesn't have lots of bag marks. Had the toning been "pretty" it would have sold at a premium rather than a discount. The problem is that as humans we mix the subjective with the objective all the time (and it's hard to separate them). Also, we need a better grading system. Something with separate categories. If PCGS offers a conservation service and would honor at least the same grade ... it might benefit. Report this Post to the Staff
