steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 11/25/2008 2:35 pm Any ideas on what grade this slabbed coin should have? The "toning" on the reverse on the torch (upper portion, below flame) is a little more distracting than the photo would indicate. Thank you... There is a small mark in the hair, above ear but closer to top of head, that I can't see in the photo. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/25/2008 3:37 pm My first question would be "who slabbed it?" because a 1950D Roosie is nothing special below MS67 and the grading fees would cost almost as much or even more than the coin would be worth The one exception might be that if it was given a FT designation(Full Torch), that is for coins with fully struck and separated horizontal bands on the torch. This designation can increase the value quite a bit with some Roosies although I am not familiar enough with 50D to know one way or the other. From the provided pics, it does not look like an FT coin to me. However, just because it is not worthy(IMO) of being entombed in a piece of plastic, that does not make it junk. It is quite a nice early Roosie with a grade of 64 or 65 probably and a better than average strike, better pictures would help. Edited by biokemist6 11/25/2008 3:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 4:50 pm I didn't slab it; and it is in an NGC holder...with a 67 grade on it, no FT designation. I am skeptical of the grade, and I appreciate the opinions of you folks. Won't be able to take a better photo, because I have returned the coin to the seller. thanks, steve Report this Post to the Staff
