Just trying to get a a consensus on the grade of this coin, I have had it for several years and it seems its developed what appears to be spots at a 11 o, clock just to the left of the head, what do you think, first what the grade is ? and do those spots affect the grade in a negative manner? So people dont do a double and triple take, am going to be posting this exact thread through the entire forum as many C.T members are partial to one area of coins.
It's hard to tell what is luster and what is contact the photos are a bit blurry. I would venture to say that it looks MS67 or better.
Put the coin on a picture frame holder....light off to the left....take a pic with a smartphone from about 12-15" away (zoom in if necessary)....use table/furniture to brace your hand so it's steady (move the coin back/forward, not your arm). You can't see it here but my arm and the smartphone were braced against the edge of the desk. I zoomed in...the one thing I may not have done was to focus on the COIN WRITING as my focal-point not the label. They both are unlikely to be in perfect focus....make sure the writing on the COIN is razor-sharp not the label.
