My pics suck the worst, that's why I use auction images so much. Otherwise you guys would think that I only collect really blurry and distant coins. I should anyway, that's the way of my vision.
Ah come on guys your giving yourselves way too much credit here. My visions is bad so I just make sure that when I take a picture the camera is out of focus so when the picture is taken, well perfect.
I agree that the coin in the OP looks Au and has a really good strike for the issue. Here is my AU (58) for comparison: Mine has a good strike but the OP's is even better.
The above coin certainly has an above average strike on a coin most often found as flat as a pancake.
The strike on yours is just a smidgen better than my ms64 above @Mainebill's is a classic, typical example
Agree. I'd love to find a really nailed ms 63-4 21 peace. Mine I bought well over 20 years ago at an estate auction for around $75. I was absolutely floored when pcgs called it a 63. I thought it au and still do
