I bought this at an auction that is graded by a guy that operates out of his parents basement (somewhat kidding but I don't think I am far off) Anyways - thoughts?   *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Looks AU-58 to me. Rubbing on the high points.

MS63RB. Looks like more than 5% red on this one to me.
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."

You guys are all ridiculous and Debbie downer's. This was graded at 65 by NGC, OH. Figured you guys would just low shoot everything and I need conformation of that.

Is that a scratch or a die crack running from the C in America to the edge?

keep in mind grading by photo is significantly different that in hand. we can't rotate the coin and eliminate glare. I had the coin at MS64BN mainly due to the coin looks like it was handled and oils transferred to surfaces

It's a bit difficult to tell because the holder reflections somewhat obscure the coin's surface. It does look like an older NGC holder. Based on the pictures, it looks like there is some slight wear on the high points, which would make it high AU. If it grades MS, I'd guess MS 63 BN. I know you said it was graded MS-65 BN. The strike seems a bit weaker than some of the other MS-65 Indian Head cents on Heritage Auctions and PCGS Photograde. Again, that might be reflections in the picture. Either way it's a nice coin! |

Not a coin I would ever pay MS-65 price for. I haven't seen a 100% batting average on any of the TPG coins. That's why you buy the coin and not the holder. |

I'm coming in late, sorry. I'm seeing AU58+, possibly up to MS62--given the images posted.
