Would appreciate some opinions on Belly Button Lady. Not totally convinced the TPGs got this one right.   |

Even with the dull luster this looks like an MS coin. MS-64.

Looks like a weak strike in lower obverse, upper reverse. Wondering if they counted that as circulation wear. I don't think it is, but I'll guess they graded it as AU58. I think it's an MS coin.

Weakly struck especially the reverse. That said I still believe I am seeing some slight rub on the high points of the obverse. Add to that the lack of luster and I would be at AU-55

Low Unc —- 61 on Monday, maybe 62 on Friday afternoon. Nice type coin for a high grade type set no matter the grade.

Weak strike, no eye appeal, even though an affordable date if graded on the AU/MS line, it'd still be a pass.

To be honest, I'm messing with light deffusers as of late to eliminate glare. There is more luster evident when in hand. Not much more but a tad better than the above pics show. I'll reveal in a couple of hours.

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."

Maybe the TPG just doesn't like the Outie!!! Whether high AU or low MS really is a matter of speculation - it is in a slab and my typical approach of taking negatives to determine possible friction points does not work so well. After magnified scope review I personally think this an MS coin. But, what has me absolutely perplexed is DETAILS - CLEANED. I cannot find one visual cue that gives me any indication of a cleaning, new or old. Apparently no on else saw any either. If it was cleaned, kudos to whomever did it because I just don't see it. And big thx to the TPG for letting me buy a - in my opinion - a problem free coin at a significant discount.  |
