Doug might smile today!

That's just it though. The chatter seen in the auction photos aren't there except for a couple spots. The photos I took show what coin's appearance much more accurately...that's why I used them. That is why I was so surprised when I got the coin in hand...because it was so much better than I expected.

 

Doug always smiles....but sometimes it might be a smile you don't want to see!

 

I can fix that!!!

 

Slab scuff? Overexposed lighting maybe?

 

I think it's lighting. I think they were really trying to emphasize the proofy look of the coin...which they did successfully. But, in the process made the coin look much more marked up.

 

Yeah.. this pics didn't do a good job showing the noise or magnitude of them.. agree with 64 based on those latest pics.

 

But then why did most give it 66's and 67's? Heck if Doug overgrades a coin sumpins wrong.

 

They do not look like the same coin to me. There seems to be spots in the first pic that are not in the second pic. TC

 

Yes, the slab numbers match up...they are the same coin. I have tried to replicate their photo and I can't seem to do it. Whatever they did made the coin look horrible. Honestly, the only scuffs on the coin that are affecting eye appeal are those 3 vertical marks on Washington's neck. There are a couple little dings near the pony tail too...but other than that the coin is mark free. I was honestly shocked when it arrived so I double checked the serial numbers and they are the same.

 

Here are my photos and their photos so they can easily be compared:

Nice job on the pics, the seller pics were horrible!

 

Can't miss the same wolverine claw marks on his neck. Definitely the same coin.

 

Oh, and I did a bit of playing around to make the prongs white like they are and it made the whole coin look like this:


IMO it kinda makes the fields look a little more prooflike and the quarter a little better on color.

 

Wow; nice coin; it does look proof like. I'm at an MS68. I can't understand the reason to downgrade it to anything less than an MS67. I almost want to say PF67 or PF68.
