I was wondering if I send my 1945 Micro S in to be graded can that put micro S and rotated obverse??? Im trying to get pics up but I dont know how to show the rotation.....any ideas on how i could???
I'm eagerly awaiting pics! Sorry I couldn't answer you question though. I am the last person to ask about photography.
The amount of rotation would be main factor. If significant, it might be worth the current $50 PCGS charges to authenticate and grade a mint error, but if not a high grade, it might not be worth it, as 1945 micro-S dimes are not real expensive in the lower ranges. Even if you can't show it well in a photo, what do you estimate the degree of rotation is, by carefully flipping it over and using a protractor? If it was put very upright in a cardboard 2x2 or a hard plastic holder, it could be photographed obv and rev. The rotation would be apparent.
Ill take some scans tonight but i was just told to get a digital microscope....apparently thats how everybody is taking those great pics
Had to settle for cell phone pictures, when that camera come in ill try to get better pictures, its not a huge rotation at all but it doesnt take a trained eye to see it either.....guess ill just wait to see what yall have to say thanks jon
ok thanks very much I also was wondering if anybody ever heard the term baked to describe a coin? a dealer told me this looks baked and i should sell it fast..... Didnt bother asking him what it meant because its not for sale but that was his response when i asked for his opinion on a grade
baked refers to putting the coin in an oven at high temperature to atrificially tone the coin. It does look like AT (artificial toning) but baked? Not sure, but could be.
