Jdford Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 06:33 am Curious to what y'all would grade this as. Mint state? Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 08:43 am FS-512, just makes MS65. Light scuffs in the obverse fields and later die state bring down the eye appeal IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 09:49 am I'll say MS-64. Report this Post to the Staff
BuffaloIronTail Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 10:17 am Pretty banged up. I was gonna say 63 but the reverse carries it to an MS-64 Pete Report this Post to the Staff
Jdford Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 11:32 am Ty2020b nailed it as per PCGS, seemed over graded myself, but I'm not as professional as y'all. Trying to figure out my own grading on my D/S 1938, however I got more work to do. Lol Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 3:52 pm IMO, not an attractive example. Die Deterioration hurts this one, in eye appeal, and in leaving some high point planchet marks visible. Very frosty luster, so all those smaller marks probably look more pronounced than they are. I should have said BARELY makes 65 instead of "just makes". Would be a pass for me. Plenty better looking examples out there. Report this Post to the Staff
Jdford Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 3:54 pm Lol@jacrispies, ok will do. I found a ms 63 my au 58 looked better than. I'll try and find another one. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18834 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 10:47 am this die issue is pretty prevalent on these. barring the die issues which I dont think the TPG would consider as that came from the mint I had this one at MS64. I cant see how they got to 65 on this on with all the hits on both sides. I definitely would not pay 65 $$ for it Report this Post to the Staff
