this post is basically for grospoisson and Badthad. found this 41S that graded MS67RD. take a close look at this one. is this one you would send it in hopes of returning a 67? Are they serious? at best i'd call this one 65RD   |

Wow, surprising to me. A 65 tops to me as well.

In that case, I've got about 5000 wheats I need to send in. Maybe I'll get a 68 or 69 out of one.

I'm just not seeing this one as MS-67RD.

I haven't seen grospoisson lately..seems like a good lad.
I have no idea how this graded 67.
Agree 65 tops

I'm not an expert on this series - but to my eye the distracting hit in the right obverse field down from Lincoln chin makes a joke of the slabbed MS67 grade.

They must have slipped a $100 under the flip.
Keep in mind, accurately grading from a couple of pictures is really not possible at 66 up....at least not for me. GP had some coins he posted here that he sent me and my grades were 2-3 points higher than anyone in the forum guessed. That said, it certainly doesn't look worthy of a 67 grade. I've sent in a few 67's and they came back 66 - they were ALL nicer than this coin.

Besides the holder style...sure do wish they would put the "date graded" some place on the holder...
would at least give a window of how and why...
frustrating to say the least...
If submitted by grospoisson...MS-65
aghh
