    I picked this up a couple of weeks ago and now it is finally sitting in its rightful plus on its webiste

    It seems to be a great specimen and to my eyes it grades about MS63.

    Better but still a little blurry , I don't know if '34s came weakly struck or if it's the pics , but I figure you've got her in hand and can tell so I'll go by your judgement that there isn't any wear , so I'll stick to MS-63 .

    I just picked up two PCGS MS 63 peace dollars today. If your pic's are accurate, yours looks better then mine. I say MS-64 based in your pics. Nice coin.

    I think I would 4 it!

    I think I would 4 it! - The 2 little hits on the face should not keep it from a 4 IMO.

    MS-64, Ruben. I've gotten MS-62/63 Peace dollars that look way worse than that, (from NGC and PCGS). Peace dollars are extremely difficult to grade. Yours looks really good to me, the few hits nothwithstanding it passes other criteria.

    I think it's the pics that make the coin appear cleaned to others. I looked really good at the coin and it doesn't appear cleaned to me. Do you have a macro feature on your camera? If so, use it and see what happens. That may clear up some of the blurriness.

    Ruben for some reason several of the pics you have been showing lately are making your coins look polished. I'm thinking it's the lighting, or the angle of the lighting. You need to play around with it a bit until you are able to achive that realistic look instead of what you have been getting lately.

    And if you are not using a tripod or a copy stand - get one !

    I don't know. The camera just might be shot. I try a lot of different lighting and that one was in indirect sun light. God knows its taken enough pictures, 6493 of them to be exact. And then I drag it around in my Bike Messenger bag and once it died of power in Central Park with the Lens out and my daughter pushed the lens back in with her thumb. Its had a spot on the lens since then.

    I'm sick of that camera. I want to get a real one, not a point once and shoot job.

    Meanwhile, everyone is consistent though. I realized I posted this once before. Evidently I photographed it twice.
