IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36724 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 11:22 am The first obverse photo looks AU-58 with some rubbing on the neck and field marks. Nice reverse, but not one I'd pay MS money for. Report this Post to the Staff

Jester Valued Member United States 210 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 7:30 pm My gut was MS 63, but I'm not sure how much that cheek ding would set it back, so Maybe 61/62 Report this Post to the Staff
tintin02 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 01:01 am Thank you for everyone's input. The correct answer is: AU58 with CAC approval The obverse looks like it might have slid in a drawer or lightly circulated a long time ago, resulting luster break yet the surface is fresh. The reverse looks fantastic (could fit into MS scale) with full detail and I cannot even detect any wear on the reverse. Please comment if you detect something that I miss. I'm here to learn. I think this one looks more eye appealing than those from recent comps and online auctions, even in MS-62 range right now. Is grading inflating right now? I don't regret when paying a premium for this accurately graded AU-58 blazer. Do you agree with my opinion? Did the result make you surprised? Could it fit into the imaginary AU-63, AU-64 category? Please let me know. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 09:34 am Was going to say AU55-AU58 based on obverse hairlines before I saw your slab photo. Very attractive example.
