I sent this in to NGC for grading what do you think the grade is? Will be another month before I get it back. *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark to Title. Titles are Important! ***  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by jessvc1

Too much glare to see surface details clearly. Could you grade this coin accurately from these pics?

Assuming that it does not get returned Details graded (cleaned, questionable color, ect) I'd venture an MS64. Either way, a very solid strike for a nickel.

The artificial lighting in your photos renders the coin almost in a golden aura.
I hope it actually looks much better than that and would rather see it under natural lighting of some sort.
Looks to be relatively mark free so that's a good thing.
Can't go any farther with grading than that. Sorry.

I see that you purchased the coin from canyon.city.coin. The seller has juiced photos that are ungradable, and the seller's comments mean nothing. You could have purchased a nice graded MS65 for less than what you have into the coin.

I also purchased from canyon city but will never do so again. They did refund my money without hassle when I returned my purchase within the stated period.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The price you pay for sub-standard coins, along with associated grading fees, are what I refer to as "tuition" to "Numismatic U". I've been attending Numismatic U for over 60 years and have never met anyone who has graduated. A lot think they are close though!  |
