    OK - Lets see if we can have some fun. You post an ungraded coin that you think should be a 70 grade if slabbed. We'll try to find a flaw or vote if it is 70 or not 70!

    Who wants to post the first coin?

    Thats it. Dude, it took me all morning to figure out how to put a red circle around a coin.... now you want me to change the size of a pic..... too much to learn for one day. ;) If you tell me how, I can try. I am heading off to my local coin club now so I will check in later on tonight.

    Yes. What you see is the pic as it came out of the camera, then I cropped it to as it is.

    You can change that easy enough by changing the settings on your camera. Go with the highest quality and you'll get bigger pics.

    You have a 7mgpix camera (its likely). You can change the setting and blow it up.

    I will give the coin an MS69 because of the tiny mark underneath Liberty's curls.

    ok, so nobody else saw the big Ding on the upper part of the rim of the reverse?

    PS; Awesome coin though Joe, I'd only grade it a PF-66

    I wouldn't even give it a PF-66. Matter of fact, I wouldn't even give it a Proof at all. ;)

    I think I see a mechanical double on the latin motto...whatever it says.

    On the Jackson - Yeah - I'm so stupid. But I was thinking that might be the plastic.

    the first one. at 12 O clock

    Yes, at 12 oclock there is a... well, lets call it a defect. Dosen't look like a "ding", but definitely looks like something scraped it. I believe the coin would still grade 69, even with those small marks on it.

    Nice catch Lehigh with that tiny whatever it is. Didn't notice that and will have to relook at the coin again in hand.
