Wow, i would never have gave that a 65 grade, lots of nicks in the fields plus the staining and no mirror finish, i would have said a PF60 at best, just goes to show the difference in grading now to 20 years ago. @sovereignsteve PF relates to any proof coin of which the 1937 Gold only came in proof

thanks I knew all that but it wasn't clear whether the coin was already slabbed and that was the grade.:)

Actually, typing that number into the NGC verification and it doesn't come up, and i do know there is fakes of these as i had bought one about 4 years ago and had to send it back



This was sold by Heritage at auction in 2014 and it's 100% genuine. Actually I have had a look at closeup pics of PF66 and they all have lines and blemishes. The 62,63,64 coins seem to have many more significant blemishes.

Most of these coins spent 60+ years being handled in cases where the velour caused rubbing.

A pristine 64/66 set of these coins is now £13 to £20k. It may be that NGC will downgrade by 1 grade after conservation but they are just as likely to keep the grade.

@Numistacker Yes i saw the Heritage tag on the bottom of the picture but checking the UIN it doesn't verify the number. Speaking of hairlines, PCGS actually downgrade coins for such blemishes, although most hairlines are actually from the mint workers who at the time wiped the coins before placing them in the cases, but this is my own opinion of your coin, i wouldn't have ever thought it was a 65 or even near so with the amount of problems it has



I was also surprised but I looked at about 10 of them up close graded from 62 to 66 and they all had issues.

I looked on the heritage archive and the exact slab is photographed in high res and the pics I showed come from the heritage site.

Can you verify the label or have i done something wrong?



It may pre-date the current database. I can't believe it's not genuine

Well as i said in an earlier reply, i have previously bought one of these and found out it was a fake a week later, the date of when they started faking these i can't say but if it's 20 years or more then it could be possible, but if you're sending it to NGC then hopefully it will get verified again. Speaking of grading, here's a 1902 Matte proof Sov, can you guess the grade?

Not a bargain but ok. It's very rare if it's what I think it is. BG405 and maybe 60 or so surviving. NGC have 10 slabbed so all will depend on grading.

Added another historic coin to my collection today.

It's a 1/2 escudo minted in Madrid in 1784. NGC has graded only 10 of these and only 4 were Au or higher. This one was owned (allegedly) by an ex president of Peru.

today i bought a 1/10 oz 50th anniversary of the kruggerand privy gold coin.

Only 2000 mintage, and i fancied it. Last week i picked up a couple of 2017 bullion sovs. Sent one to PCGS for grading, but not holding out much hope. 

Can you give me a tip on the Anniversary Krug please :)
