Lol. Petulant.
I purchased this coin early 2016. My pics are below, and you can see the original slab photos from Heritage at this link. [IMG]
Ray, I was in no way judging your photos. I was making a general statement about the danger of axial-style images. In my opinion, you have done...
That Jeff Nickel is a 4 for me. @ddddd I have another ready to go if no one is up next. Let me know.

That MS61 Morgan is at a 2 for me. It is just way too beat up - the rough surfaces detract from any toning.
No gaskets blown. I just try to be thorough and clear in what I write.
Ray, what do you mean by "pseudo-axial"? I know you are very exact in your description of photography methods (which I much appreciate) - but...
How the hell did you come to that conclusion? I said the images were AXIALLY LIT - that's a method of coin photography. I didn't say they aren't...
I didn’t say the images were juiced. I said they were axial and this massively exaggerates the colors. The images can definitely come out of the...
Those images are axially lit - and thus over-exaggerate the toning. My first thoughts were AT (artificially toned), but the toning on proofs...
"Protected use" litigation for images posted on the internet only enriches lawyers. While, yes theoretically, the image should always be used...
The relative versus absolute scale was discussed earlier in this thread. If you can read, you should have already seen it there. I get your...
Colors are colors. Thin film optics are a physical process. The fact that Nickel doesn't tone like Silver means that nickel may not tone to a...
Is it a 6 relative to other Jefferson Nickels - but the colors come no where close to a 6 on the absolute scale as was proposed in the opening...
I thought we were rating based on the same criteria as what were called "Monster" for a Morgan in the OP. Not relative to the series, but...
That’s a 5 all day.
It’s a solid mid-to-low 5 for me. Not a monster 6. Beautiful lustrous coin, and a lovely fully transition toned obverse. :cool:
I’m at 6 and 5 on those two Morgans also. The 1881-S is an absolute beast of a coin. The field and cheek chatter on the 1887 bothers me, and...
Separate names with a comma.
