johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/08/2010 11:32 pm That is a terrific looking coin! The pictures are a bit blurry, but I think it's at least a 64. I don't see anything from the pics that would stop it from making gem, but I'd need better shots to confidently give it a higher grade. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/08/2010 11:42 pm Thanks Johnny, and I agree. One thing I'm surprised about is the RB designation people gave. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/08/2010 11:43 pm Do you think the darker coloring band on the reverse drops the grade? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 04:26 am Shadow, I believe PCGS or NGC may call this MS64BN. I am still standing by 64RB :-) There is enough RD on the obverse IMO to warrant this designation. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 04:31 am MS64RB. I dislike the band on the back, but whatever. I don't know if that would affect the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 04:33 am I don't either. I lucked out on the coin however (and paid very little for it) so I'm not complaining. Any other opinions? Report this Post to the Staff
razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 07:33 am Very nice, I think its one better, 65. Report this Post to the Staff
big777bill Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 09:35 am MS-64RB but I agree a TPG would grade it as BN due to the band on the reverse. The band was probably caused by the way the coin had been stored. Someone had this coin squirrelled away for quite some time. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 12:29 pm Thanks guys. Tbh I was a bit surprised at the number of 64 grades. I don't think the coin is RB and believe the glare accentuated the red on the obverse perhaps. However, under the glass, the coin has virtually no imperfections. I actually think it grades MS-67 (!) BN but is likely to only get MS-66 or at worst 65 BN because of the streak on the reverse. The strike is heavy and it's one of the cleanest older coins I've seen. I'll post new pics when I can.
