Its a game that we like to play at Let's Start A Coin Collection every single day. The rules are simple, every day I will post a picture of a coin (PCGS, NGC, or ICG graded) and you can guess the coins grade in the comments! |
Welcome to another round of Guess the Grade Coin of the Day. Here is an image of a PCGS graded buffalo nickel from 1913 (image courtesy of Heritage Auctions)! Please post your guesses in regards to the coins grade in the comments below, and tomorrow I will reveal the grade of the coin between the comments and the image of the coin; while providing an explication as to why the coin received the grade that it did. Good luck! The coin above is graded in PF65 condition! The reason why it obtained this grade, is due to some marks on the coin, which is concealed the heavy toning. Mostly, the marks are towards the top of the Indians head, and on the bison's hump on the reverse!
