TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 12:21 pm This is one if mine that I have had for many years. Most of the scratches are on the plastic holder, and the smudge over the eagle breast is on the plastic. From my angled mobile phone shots I've tried to capture the plumage underneath. What do you think they graded it? / What would you give it. Will post actual grade in 48 hours. Edited by TobyJ 07/01/2020 12:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JasonKflo Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 12:54 pm I'm having a hard time getting a good feel but looks nice maybe MS64 ? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 1:01 pm I'd say MS-64 as well. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 2:20 pm It certainly is MS64 quality but I'm not getting a good read on the surfaces in the fields. They look a bit dull and lifeless in these images. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 08:52 am strike is soft which is normal for this year but based on these photos I think she's been over dipped. UNC details (Cleaned). remove from holder for a more accurate assessment Report this Post to the Staff
Ham1947 Pillar of the Community United States 1298 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 10:12 am Photos are too blurry for me to make a grade, but I would guess this coin would grad AU58. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 10:16 am I think you guys are right. Better pics, outside the holder, are needed. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36800 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 10:52 am The surface luster is a concern. Maybe a few more photos with better lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 12:17 pm I hope these are a bit better at showing the lustre. I've used a thinner material for diffusing the light and put my light on full brightness. Any better? Basically, the fields aren't dull at all, they reflect a lot of light. Hopefully the bottom photo will give a good idea of the lustre. Edited by TobyJ 07/02/2020 12:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3657 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 9:44 pm The new photos help. The surfaces look fairly clean. I don't see anything from contact marks that would hold this back from MS-64. The strike is pretty soft. I can't tell from the photos if there is disruption of the luster at the high points. You have the coin in hand,and can better assess that factor. The luster seems a bit dull to me, too. That could well be the lighting or the slab. I'm cautiously in the MS-64 camp here, assuming that the luster is unbroken. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 07:53 am Probably MS-64 Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 08:52 am I'm still at UNC details over dipped Report this Post to the Staff
TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 2:41 pm Thanks for all the replies. PCGS graded it MS63, but I really feel it's better than that. I may just crack it out of the case which is badly scratched and the blurring over the eagles breast is just plain annoying. Unless these old style holders are worth any more? If I bust it out I'll post photos. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36800 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 2:51 pm It most likely got a lower grade due to the dull luster. When I first looked at it, it appeared cleaned to me. Typical dull bright look that cleaning with baking soda and water produces. Report this Post to the Staff
TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 07/04/2020 11:44 am I bust her out ladies and gentlemen. No regrets. Thoughts? Edited by TobyJ 07/04/2020 11:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
