Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 9:31 pm Just won this, I was thinking it would be somewhere between 63/64 RB, bought it raw and hoping it looks as good or better in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

ty88ty2 Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 9:32 pm I want to say 64BN. I do really love the look of that coin though. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 9:43 pm 64BN is about right. Do like the woodie. My concern would be the TPG, would they consider that much of alloy mismatch a planchet flaw, and possibly details it for that? Would be interesting to take it to a show where the tpgs are set up and ask. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 9:50 pm Crazy, I dont think TPG's would detail a coin for a pre/during strike flaw, just as they wouldnt detail a coin with a major lamination, which you could consider an alloy issue. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 10:00 pm A bit hard to grade with the woody pattern, but I'll say MS-64BN. I like it. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 10:07 am I really can't tell much of anything about the surfaces from these pics, other than it certainly is not an RB coin (), so I'll not offer a grade. I personally do not care for the appearance. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 1:03 pm Thank you for your opinions! As for the color designation, I'm not sure how this wouldnt be desinated RB? From my understanding, a coin would get an RB designation if it has between 10-95 % red color, id estimate this to have around 30-40% red. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 1:45 pm My remark about it not being RB was simply based on your pics - perhaps they aren't accurate, but I don't see any red at all, just browns and tans. Report this Post to the Staff
