If that's the case, never try and cross it - it won't holder as a 63.
I would love to own it myself - but - I'd want it in a PCGS slab - as
all of my Halves are in PC holders.

 

It's not really rub like wear , more like it was in a Dansco album and the plastic left a couple of small lines , I don't plan on selling it so I really don't care if it's in a NGC slab but like you I prefer PCGS
a little more .

Connor1 - that you, Dan ?

 

Yes ,I never gave up coins just took a break & didn't sell them for my paper collection,I've always liked both but from time to time switch back or collect both.

 

More people ask me how you are - want to know what you're doing; still dabbling in buying and selling - or -
have you gotten a new 9-5 ? Hope all is well...post more ATS - pls. MFH

 

Thanks,I appreciate that & have been ill but on the mend for now. Yes I'm still collecting since 1956 when I was 7 years old & my uncle bought me my first proof set,I was hooked & then I got into both paper & coins (US)
Great to hear from you also,I'll keep in touch !

Here is one of my clients coins that I photoed befor sending to PCGS.

 

That is one heck of a coin. I would be interested in know what the results were. 67 CAM?

 

Beautiful , one day I'll break down and part with the money such a beauty costs .

I suppose I'll bring this down to earth a little with one of my mistakes:



Now, for another shot of the obverse. I have not changed the exposure, lighting, nor post-processing between shots. All I did was reshoot with the coin rotated by 90 degrees.



This coin is housed in a PCI 14-digit Green Label PR-64 holder, and serves as my object lesson about trusting coin photography. And, no, no matter how much I wanted to believe it, the scratches are not on the holder.

NICE!

Okay, the suspense is killing me...


what did it grade?

 

It was Certified PCGS Secure PR63.

 

How could it grade so low ? Can't see no major detractions and the toning is beautiful .

I will freely admit I know little about grading proofs, but I am not even in the same park with this one. Can someone explain any logic to that grade, please?

 

Unfortunately I do not have the coin in hand anymore but.... The coin was very dark tone & the color is only coming out due to the diffused lighting I used to take the picture. I thought the coin would 4 or 5 myself . I do think the color played a role in the coins grade along with the wing /shoulder tips & neck on the reverse being somewhat flat in spots.
