Bands are not the only strike elements for Mercss and this coin shows how one can get a lovely coin for very cheap money because while the strike is outstanding in so many ways, it is just slightly not quite full band
i did buy a few today, not graded, maybe one was Au, or better the rest, below AU but have good eye appeal to me, and were inexpensive , 3 to 6 dollars a piece
Here it is...I ought to take a better pic sometime though - still learning. http://www.cointalk.com/t194305-9/#post1348046
Thanks. I don't remember how much I paid for it -I'm sure it was more than the $20 mrbrklyn paid for his...oh well.
Hello The full bands fetch much more money. You can ask for some help with the picture taking, though, because the photographs are slightly over exposed. Which camera did you use? Amanda
I know, there are a lot of things wrong with my pics. I've been trying different things lately, and I think they're getting a little better. I'm using an Olympus point-and-shoot type camera. I took better pics with my old, simple, manual SLR. :desk:
