Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 9:27 pm I think this is a case where unusually exceptional eye appeal is going to bring a technically AU-58 coin into MS. I really can't tell for certain without seeing it in hand, but it really does look like there's wear on the high spots. This is the slider of the century(+87 years) I'm going to guess is made 63 CAC Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 03:03 am MS-65, but gorgeous toning regardless of the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36519 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 08:43 am Tough to grade this one from a photo as the tone hides what might be going on with the surface. hard to see what is wear on the high points and what is soft strike. AU-58? Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 11:50 am I'm at AU55 possibly 58. I'm not a huge fan of toning but I would think this one would garner a premium over its grade Report this Post to the Staff

jmwilson Valued Member 240 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 9:24 pm XF-45 at the minimum AU-50 at the best I think the wear is mainly on the obverse. The reverse looks AU-55. I just don't see a MS coin. Too much wear in the hair, cap, and drapery over the bust. Report this Post to the Staff

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 11:07 pm Well here it is. An undergraded coin that in my opinion could be a AU58+. I think this one is a case of the weak strike that PCGS confused with wear. Its my first coin with a gold CAC and I am really happy to have snagged this beauty when able.
