Here are the pro pics, what it really looks like

Beautiful coin Magman! I love it.

 

the 1958's always seem to come with nice toning (that is a nice one)

 

Very nice coin. Of course you were shooting through the cellophane and Todd did not.

 

thanks.
and yeah, I didn't want to try doing it myself. haha

 

nice

 

Yes, nice toning. I like it.

 

nice coin

 

thanks all

*waits for Lehigh*

 

A gorgeous quarter indeed. I love the deep magenta and orange patina on both sides. Todd's photos really show how important a good coin photo is for toned coins.

Now what I want to see is Todd's photo of the Franklin Half that got body bagged for questionable color.

 

actually, all 4 (both halves and quarters) got bagged.

Half:



other quarter:



I don't have a picture of the other half, but it's blue on the obverse.

 

It is so disturbing that NGC bagged coins that come so commonly rainbow toned from mint sets. I really don't see why they bagged the quarters at all. I love all of them.

 

I know right
I'm going to try to send in the blue half again, because that one has the best chance of getting graded. If it doesn't, then... well, then I dunno what I'll do. I'd like to get them graded so that maybe I can sell them (the green/red quarter and turquoise half pictured)

 

Wow. I love that first quarter. edited

 

WOW! Look at the difference in photos! Todd can take really good ones, that is for sure!!!
Very nice coins MagMan!

 

thanks.

And yeah, the difference is amazing.

I just need to get myself some lights and I can have a similar set up (I have a stand, compliments of Jack, that will take pics straight down) - but so far I've been kinda lazy.
