Please grade my 1961 3d

Triggersmob · September 22, 2013, 06:51:12 PM

When I was first learning about grading, I graded this at XF. I'm thinking now that it might go higher. What do you think. The strike seems very weak, especially on the denticles, is this normal?

Thanks

Looks perfect to me.I cant see any wear or detracting marks

Weak strike, yes. But absolutely no wear that I can see from those pics.

Much higher grade definitely.

Looks like a MS64 coin to me.
defiantly a weak strike, The knots in the ribbon are ill defined as well as the features of the Monarch on the obverse so MS 64 is the best it will get IMHO. :ok:
You may have to give it I dip in acetone to get the green gunk off the obverse tho :good:

Thanks for the replies. So what does MS64 equate to? Is it UNC?

It would translate to Choice Uncirculated

What green gunk? Are my eyes that bad?

There is a bit of a mark on the Queen's head,
if that is what Trout is referring to, but it is not green.
Thanks for the grading guys.
