MS63. Your imaegs are way to dark to give an accurate grade. Detecto, are you afraid to throw light at them? What's up?
It's my crappy camera. I have two lights shining right on it! When ever the coin gets brighter, my camera dims it down.
Sounds like you are using auto-mode on your camera then. Use manual, and adjust your white balance. Also, don't be afraid to adjust white balance in your editing software.
+1 but change my grade to MS65 Your penchant for low grade mint state Jefferson Nickels not withstanding, there simply are not that many of these graded below MS65.
I wouldn't say penchant lol. ps. I got some real raw beauties today! New pics tonight. Prepare to be amazed!
Detecto, any imaging software. Whatever you are using to crop them will have the same features. Are you using photoscape? It for sure has it. Brightness/contrast.
Remember his MS61 Jefferson from Teletrade? I don't remember the date, maybe this is it? I change my guess to MS61, too much of a coincidence. The NGC populations for a 1941 Jefferson are: MS61: 2 MS63: 5 MS64: 19 MS65: 66
Yeah, to be clear, I have a penchant for low grade MS coins of any type! As long as they are toned. lol
I like high grade proofs that are labelled as mint state coins, apparently. Read more: http://www.cointalk.com/t206752/#ixzz1vdNTXqL1
BTW, it is possible that this is also a mechanical error. From both Detecto's photos and those by Heritage, I see nothing that justifies the rather harsh grade of MS61. Perhaps Detecto will consider sending the coin to me so that I can photograph it properly. PM me if you are interested Detecto.
