Bought this coin as "uncirculated." What do you guys think it would grade? I think my pictures being slightly out of focus make it hard for me to take a guess... but have at it!
managed to get a better picture of the obverse... still no luck with the reverse I paid $20 for this... sound like a good deal or not?
That coin graded is worth more than $20- I have a 64 Rd and I think they go for about $100 at that level (too lazy to look up). Great coin. I agree with everyone else on the 64 RB. I would not have such a direct light source for better photos. I use digital macros on my camera, zoom in a lot and pull the camera a distance away to prevent glare. I don't have an OTT light (whatever that is- natural lightbulb?), but everyone says you need that too. That would help get a better pic for grading.
Yep. MS64RB. Nice looking coin. Thanks for sharing it. When taking a photo of a copper coin I have found using a pastel blue background makes the colors more accurate. but it could just be me. I also use the Macro setting on my camera, place it on a tripod and have it about 12" from the coin. I use an OTT light source, it really does make a difference.
TPG grade: AU 58 net graded to 63RB if it makes it into a holder. However, I have some reservation with the color/originality of the surfaces. Mike grade: About $20. DISCLAIMER: Photos make these issues very difficult to judge....Mike
I'm with Leadfoot on this. Pics make it difficult, but a 63RB is pretty accurate. The reverse shows weakness in the strike, these normally come real sharp. 64RB on a good day, and well worth the $20 paid.
