Bob’s coin might have gotten an MS70 net grade. Typically PCGS details grades bright blue copper because of its association with MS70 but maybe they were on the fence regarding the originality of the color and decided to net grade the coin instead of details grading it.

The other issue is that we are looking at a TruView. Does the TruView give an accurate depiction of the coin in hand or is it a glamour shot. @robec is one of the best photographers out there, I’d like to see his own photos of this coin.

Those are two excellent points and I had not thought of either of them. Thanks for giving me some more ideas to think about.

That is my photo. Here is the TrueView. WingedLiberty designer my template. I do use the same font as PCGS for the Cert Number, which is a public font.


Here are my other obverse photos

 

OMG, it totally fooled me, I thought it was the TruView, lol.

That said, your photo shows more luster, but my guess is that the blue color is not as prominent in hand unless blasted with light, correct me if I’m wrong.

What do you think about the possibility of a net grade for being exposed to MS70?

Btw, regardless of grade, the coin is tremendous and I love it!

 

I added the 7 obverse photos to my post above yours.
I do agree with you on the net grade possibility.
I bought the coin 6 years ago for $23. At the time it was in an NGC MS62BN holder.
Not that it makes a difference, but here is a slab shot just now taken with my phone. And it does glow when the light hits it.

 

That’s like coin porn, feel free to post that many photos of your incredible coins anytime you want!

 

While we're back in the 1920's, I just took new photos of this one.

I am very curious about estimates for the grade. I bought this for $90 from a well-known seller's online "Bargain Bin" as soon as they revealed that feature on their website.

I just want to get some verification or refutation to my fantasy that this is actually a very nice coin. As a bonus, here's a link to a Heritage auction of an MS65.

Wow, that’s incredible, even more blue than the closeups. Out of curiosity, what is price guide on a 1929 MS63 BN?

 

It's rare to see a 1926-S with that much detail, especially on the obverse. That is a super coin. The detail is 65 for sure, but as with my blue 1929, this might get net graded because of color. Not that it's wild, but the TPG's are very inconsistent when it comes to color.

Yours makes my 63BN look like a 40, with exception to the luster. Of course different dies were used for both coins.

 

$20

 

Your photos s were too tempting not to try some automation. I know I could do better if I really got fanatic about aligning, cropping, and ordering them in the best sequence. But, what the heck!

 

That's great! Nice job getting them all lined up. It probably isn't as smooth as yours because each of my shots has the coin and lighting in different positions.

 

I want to spread that on toast!

 

New photos of this 1951 cent, previously shown in a couple of not-so-great photos in posts #4211 and #4213. These are better.



The 1951-D and -S were also shown back then, in post #4412.

 

I am continuing to work my way through the 1950's with new photographs of this 1953-D. It manages to have great color and booming luster while still managing hints of mirror-like fields on front and back.

 

These photos replace a couple of earlier attempts. Probably in a few years I will have another new approach and replace this one.

 

A humble but quite original coin. Yes, I like the gunk in the devices....that's how it should look.
