acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 4:56 pm THAT is a nice coin. Step back...and pretend that coin is a 1919. (remove the value associated from the S VDB). Is the coin an MS62 or 63 or 64? Believe a 62 is the correct grade. Does have a rub on the cheek. Do not believe it would go 63 for that reason. VERY nice coin. Would be more than happy to have this coin in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 5:51 pm I guess I'm the only one here who thinks PCGS got it right. It has the overall look of a 62 to me as far as luster and details are concerned. It may have a bit of cabinet rub on the tips of the devices, but not enough to knock it down to AU imo. I wasn't sure if there was a hidden problem which is why I said "details". If it were me, I would keep at as it is happy that it was correctly graded. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16681 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 6:28 pm I still feel it's in the upper AU range. I would not resubmit it. If it were being sold as a raw coin, I'd bet most dealers would call it an upper end AU. Just my 2C :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

chirules54 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 10:55 pm Thanks for the input everybody... I am happy with the coin, just wanted to throw the idea out there. To me, the fact that they graded it 62 means they thought it was nicer than a straight MS60, but not quite nice enough for 63. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 01:36 am MS-62BN is a reasonable market grade I was tearing my hair out over AU-58BN v/ MS-63BN on this one really comes down to an opinion on whether that cheek scuff is circulation rub or something that happened in a bag. On pennies, an argument can always be made to let the wheat stalks be the tiebreaker and on this coin they break towards MS. Edited by fenton 04/15/2011 01:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
