A good looking coin, easy on the peepers.
It's always nice to pick up a George V UNC coin especially from the USA
My guess 62RB
As we have discussed before 1936 coins seem to be the easiest to get in really good nick.
This coin will probably take a fortnight or so to arrive and when it does I will post my images of it so it can be viewed "warts and All" :ok:
I have bought coins that look fantastic and have turned out to be "Dog's" before and this may be the same, Then again it may Not.
That is the difficulty in buying online from eBay if you are not familiar with the seller :angel:

I know the feeling Jim as I am also waiting for a few to arrive
I am not sure if I like the Red Brown look of the coin above. Certainly not easy on the eye unless it is the close up look that is putting me off.
The 1936 penny has arrived and it looks a lot better "In Hand" than the sellers images :yahoo::dance2:
Grading opinions welcomed :)

62RB.
MS63BN
MS62BN would be my guess.
I have the advantage of having this coin "in hand" so I am going to stick my neck out and call this at MS64RB.
I will send this off to PCGS when I finally receive the Indian coins I bought and will post the results when I get them :ok:

If it goes 64RB that would be a great result as there are only 4 or 5 coins graded higher depending on how you rate colour. Good luck anyway

There was 2 different 1936 post so I just "Shared the Joy", Not really I was "Skiteing" :laugh2::angel:
BTW
Great to see your ugly mug back here posting Mate :good:
You know I've been watchin :winkextra: Just trying to be good for a change :angel:
just curious
would this coin get slabbed with environmental damage? - i.e. those marks to the back of George's head over to the legend (REX)
just curious as I have a coin that looks a bit similar and I was told it would get that

I don't think so RG at least I hope not.
Can you post a pic of your coin?
as requested trout

I think I am pretty safe RG.
The "Blob" in front of the Kings nose on your coin shows the raw copper colour beneath the patina where it looks like it has been etched out.
There are also quite a few parallel hairlines indicative of it having had a bit if a "Wipe"
The reverse is interesting with the denticals imprint above the ALF :good:
yes it is a great example of the 'denticles over 'ALF' error & has the die crack in the EN
my coin dealer gave it a very low value due to the surface problems
I sooked (badly)
The results are in from PCGS on this Penny, It only achieved MS62RB.
A bit disappointing but that is what they graded it at :(
