just my opinion
unc - maybe a tad bagmarked on the reverse / a bit of rub on the high points but minimal
i'd think that the pcgs boys (as they don't have girls) would wack a 63 or 64 (i'd be thinking 64 BN if it were my consignment)

Thanks Robbie just trying to work out if it's worth the investment

cheers
I don't have as much experience as others here and just did my own special grading standard: 'robbiseyesdidtheaussiegrading'
if they count every ding then maybe it would go down to a 62
I count up to 5 dings/scratches/bag marks regularly on most 64 pcgs grades and then they have the special surface assessment of which I know little

I usually think about the lowest grade it is likely to record at PCGS and use that as a guide. Blue Sheet has a value of $420 for 1932 penny in MS62BN (which sounds a little optimistic to me).

Yeah that's about what it would owe me slabbed so maybe not
worth the risk at that price

I'd second RobbieGal 63/64BN looks accurate the 7th/8th diamonds look a little fuzzy but the orb on top looks great so I would put it down to a slightly weak strike.

Do my eyes deceive me or does the reverse show signs of die clashing?

It looks MS62, perhaps MS63.  I think the lack of lustre or brilliance would preclude a higher grade.  Still a nice coin and one I'd be happy with.

Maybe a hint of doubling on the base of the word penny but hard to
see anything else in the photo

I agree Neal, to the right and down of the ONE to me is nose and moustache and through and to the left of the second N is the under chin. (Could be just me though). :angel:

Oh, and that may make the inner ear under the N in ONE.

PS: Nice coin Stevo!!!

Beautifully done FP!

It reminds me of Mark's lovely work on my 10c.
