Hey guys, any guesses on this one. I know they are scans, but luster is great, so just need a grade on the detail. doesn't look cleaned to me, so thats good. Thanks in advance.   |

Hard to tell from scans but the coin looks super clean I'll say MS-64+ but need some GOOD photos to confirm

I could be wrong, but it looks like wear on the eagles breast and the tips of Liberty's hair. There are also a couple of distracting marks in the field in the obverse. I'd say AU-55.

yeah, cant tell if its wear, or the weak strike common in this MM...the luster is fantastic, so I am stuck...

It is common for 1904-O's, slabbed and in high mint state, to have strike weakness on the hair, breast, legs, and lower right wing tip. I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt due to the fact that some frosty luster seems to be coating the devices with just a couple scuffs here and there. Need pics to confirm though.

Tough call, but if the fields are as clear as they look, I'd say MS-64 with a weak strike.

A bit diffcult to say for sure from the pics, but I'm going to say MS-63 for this coin.

Echizento was sharp in his grading Echizento is *always* sharp in his grading. I'm going to call Kempire's coin a strong 63, unsurprised if it came back in a 64 slab. It's weakly-struck, and I had to come back here a second time two days later to look at it fresh. |
