Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 2:01 pm I believe I posted this coin over a year ago with poor images. I am hoping these are better. I purchased this coin a couple years ago, I can't remember what I paid but I remember it was relatively cheap for one for these at the time. I originally intended to get this coin graded but after some thought I decided to try and start a commemorative type set. But have had some difficulty tracking down a dansco 7094.. I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 2:42 pm Nice, original coin that looks like it hasn't been messed with. 64'ish Report this Post to the Staff
cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 3:15 pm Looks like old envelope toning and agree it has an original look to it. I would guess 64 as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5601 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 8:33 pm Nice Coin... I see what Could be seen as Wear, Obverse and Reverse. I also see a Strong BU Coin. I do NOT see Any Mis Handling, Original Luster, Not Cleaned. It has a Very Strong Strike, Rim has Slight detractions, or so it appears, Denticles are Awesome, Crisp Too, I will say the coin shown has a MS-65, IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 8:52 pm Lack of apparent luster is a minus here. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 06:27 am My eyes see light signs of wear - so I'm at AU with original surfaces. We'll need the OP with coin in hand to confirm any rub - look closely at the central jewel in the crown and the point where the thread crosses the spinners thigh. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 11:53 am Here are some additional photos. The first set of 2 were shot in lower light & the second 2 are a fairly accurate representation of in-hand. The coin has a darker tone but has strong luster.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 1:45 pm Even with the new pics I'll still go with my original "64" designation. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 6:54 pm I'll say with 64 as well. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 8:06 pm I'm not going to agree with the consensus. It's a great looking coin but I see wear on the high points. I'm at AU58. I looked at mine and compared it to yours. Mine is graded MS63 and doesn't have the rubs on the high points like yours. I like the toning on yours though.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 8:16 pm I checked again and I'm still at AU58. I see more details on the hand, hair and the kneeling women. In hand if those details are missing I would even go down to AU 55. Maybe it's the not sharp pictures but I don't see this as ms 64.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5601 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 8:37 pm Well, Thanks Jakes Coins, People are seeing Differing Views, I Enjoy Your Sharing, Some do not see Luster, Some see an AU+ Coin..... I Too have THIS Commemorative, like Others, and See Small Details on Mine, Not Graded, NOT seen In the OP'S Pictures.... I have seen what appears to be Rub or Wear, After Much Research, only to find a POOR Strike..... Thanks, Mike... The Denticles and Lettering are Crisp!!!! Obverse Head Dress and Body Jewelry All Very Clear and Very Intact!!! Ps, May I suggest, That the OP Having the Coin In Hand Would Lend Thought and Weight, to the Opinion With THIS Coins Appearances...... Report this Post to the Staff
