Secend coin - any opinions on grade.

It is also interesting to see the detail (or lack of - due to wear) when the coin is zoomed-in on.   02-04-2007, 07:20 PM   #5 (permalink) huntsman53 Supporter**   Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Jefferson City, Tennessee Posts: 3,008 VF-20 but cleaned way too many times!   02-04-2007, 08:19 PM   #6 (permalink) zaneman Moderator     Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 2,745 Quote: Originally Posted by huntsman53 VF-20 but cleaned way too many times!

Thanks for the grade guys, I think you are spot on. What makes me feel a little better is the coin in real size looks sweet. You really do not see all of the cleaning issues that you see with the blown up pictures. You can tell it has been cleaned but not the level of details.

Unfortunately, the opposite is true as well.   02-06-2007, 08:17 AM   #11 (permalink) USS656 Darryl - Numismatist     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Steeler Nation Posts: 4,172 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by zaneman Pictures can often make coins look much worse then they do in hand, in my opinion at least. Unfortunately, the opposite is true as well. Thanks Zane, I agree a poor quality picture can hide some of the defects. I just recently almost bought a piece of art on ebay. The pictures were poor so I questioned the seller about a specific area. In the end there was damage that was very hard to make out in the picture. With a good resolution camera I think you can see much more detail than the eye would take-in unaided. As I am into photography a little more than the average person, it probably works against me here.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
