Just got this today. Does this look like a 63?

Hello

You might be new to how this media works but anyone can post to any thread and nobody owns any threads.

That is not true. Nobody has attacked you and everyone who posted here gave evidence to support their positions.

This is not the way to make friends here.

I disagree, this closeup is kinda like my avatar, just taken from an angle. Your photo makes it impossible to tell true luster and contrast. Just my two cents. This is more ideal, taken from coins I've owned in the past:

 

Hello

How does one use the ignore feature?

Amanda

 

Left to right: MS 63 MS 64 Ms 65

According to PCGS Standards---not my rubrics, but from their grading of obverses on Morgans. Notice that even the '65s have a fair amount of contact marks, nicks and spots. They get fewer and fewer as one goes up the grade, but do not disappear until the 66-67 range. So, I think my original premise was pretty correct, if we are using the obverse as the point of discussion. The reverses are similar, and can be posted as well. 63s are as a rule, quite baggy. 64s are still pretty baggy, and 65s exhibit some "noise," just less of it.

 

Hello

So in your opinion this does not represent a clear photograph of the coin?



That is interesting. As someone who photographs artworks professionally for the purposes of restoration, I professionally say that your straining your credibility on this topic.

A. Not claiming ownership of threads, but I don't post multiple denigrating comments on other folks' posts just to be heard. I am answering you with one post.

B. Mrbrklyn was very condescending. I was quite humorous in my responses for a while, but it got tiresome, so I responded in kind.

C. I have attempted to be polite with everybody else--I even acknowledged your very polite and professional response in a post. He blew me off, not vice versa. Yes, I wish to make friends, but am not a sucker for being talked down to, or treated in a hostile manner.

 

Hello

There seems to be this trend that people keep posting the same photographs over and over as proof of a changed condition. Standardly, grading is done with a 5x loop. I don't think those photos have enough data on them to reach that fidelity. This has become largely a testosterone filled antagonistic contest. This is not an efficient means of spending leisure time and your not really adding to my understanding of coins and grading.

Amanda

 

Not sure if that was directed at me or not but your pic is clear if one was trying to attribute a VAM or something. As to representing its eye appeal, a key metric in grade, I'm not sure it meets that threshold.

 

Can you tell em how to use the ignore feature?

Amanda

 

Amanda, my post from the PCGS site is an attempt to show what THEY use as rubrics for grading. Those are from their grading standards, and I think they are clear enough to show what THEY use as guidelines for Morgan dollar grade standards. No testosterone intended--just trying to answer various questions raised. Sorry if you felt it was purely a macho thing, but that was not my intent.

  What exactly is his problem, other than lack of knowledge and attitude?

  Oh, well, that is why there is an ignore list. Just somebody please explain to me why he has that attitude, as all I did was post a coin that I thought MIGHT have been misgraded. He attacks me personally, attacks my photographs, which were no better nor worse than his, and attacks my coin so vehemently? What did I do--kick his dog or something????

It is listed in the profile of the user...

 

Folks we only live once, and this is just talk over a hobby, hardly worth ignoring folks or histrionics. I'm sure the OP from Florida and the Brooklyn caucus and come to an understanding that forums are full of misunderstandings. It's all about the love folks.

 

Absolutely, Sliverspoon--If I offended anybody, I apologize. That was not my intent--this is a hobby and it is "the hobby" in my opinion, a lifelong one. I wish I could withdraw this thread, as it has created animosity. I was wrong, and apologize for straining tensions.

Obviously, this isn't the place for me, as I don't wish to get into arguments regarding coin grading. How does one terminate his/her account?

 

Somehow I got ignored by the Brooklyn folks as well. I made the mistake of disagreeing over the quality of a close up photo and that was all she wrote. I feel bad that something I did in good faith made him feel as if he had to scrub my thoughts from existence.

 

Rubric......rubric? All I know is Ruprecht.

green ... soon you'll be in the Brooklyn constituency for the geographically challenged..

 

Wouldn't go that far, I think that Mrbrooklyn is a kid, here's his website:http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins.html . I'd be hard pressed to see someone walk out the door due to just a couple of opinions. He's probably a very smart kid, you and him just didn't mesh right at first, lol.

 

Never could find my way around........
