Sweet pickup echidna :good:
spewing I was so buggered at the show, I had a fist full of fifties in cash and was too knackered to judge a coin properly :dash1:

Looks UNC or better to me. Slightly weak reverse strike.

Spot on.
Graded choice UNC by the dealer and I would agree.
There was another similar one at the show priced at $4500.
I thought this one was better and less than half the price.

Is it destined for a slab?

Is it destined for a slab?

In the long run yes.
I think it would grade up well as the slight weakness will not affect the grade.
I only get stuff slabbed in order to sell and this one is a keeper for now.

If only I could afford that one......nice pickup.

I got this in the mail this week,would just about have to get an RD colour, would'nt it ?

[wwwww]

Nope, looks about 70% red, needs to be 95% or higher, still a nice coin though, probably MS64RB.

[robbiegal]

great photo there
good to get a better idea on what is a red designation as well, thanks world wide web (cheeky here) for that opinion

[echidna]

Its very difficult getting a RED grade at PCGS.
I would say its 63 or 64 RB.

Thanks Walter, the hunt continues LOL.

Robbie, the photo's i'm taking later are much better, i've taken in all the advice & tips from Markn & Ford ( Rob ) & Walter, along with what works for me i think i've gotten it pretty spot on now.

[markn]

A bronze coin almost needs to be the brassy red colour of a brand new one cent or two cent coin to even be considered for the RD designation.  For some years it's almost impossible to get the right colour and it's very tough for any Perth issues at all.

and the Perth's are my favourites
