Not to beat a dead horse here, but I saw your Instagram video on the Peso, and it looks to be a solid 3 and quite lovely from that view. :cool:
@Morgandude11 looking back at the scale and examples of Morgan’s in the OP, this one is a 2 for me. It’s toning, but it doesn’t really add much...
Jason, I wasn’t born yesterday, and I have been doing coin photography well for over 10 years (longer than you). You cannot interpret a coin...
Those pictures are not doing us any favors for assessment of the toning. Toned proofs are extremely difficult to photograph, and that axial...
That nickel is lovely. I’m a 5 on that one. Just enough coverage and “pop” for a breakthrough to 5 from a 4.
The Peso is hard to judge from those pics. They appear to be some sort of axial set up pics for a proof coin...based on what I see the toning is...

I'm also a 3 on this one. IMO, from the photos and the instagram video, the reverse has some "terminal" (near black) toning, and it's a bit...
I also give it a "5" on the proposed scale. It's likely the closest coin I own to anything even remotely "monster" worthy. In hand it glows -...
Instead of going off on a rant, @physics-fan3.14 could have done a VERY SIMPLE Google search for the name "Louis Colavecchio" and found thousands...

Jason, you are better than this kind of childish and baseless rhetoric.
Beautiful. And a solid 5 in my book.
If those pics are accurate then I’d say 5. But I am not a fan of PCGS TrueView images because the saturation is almost always off and the...
4 for me also - for the reasons Lehigh stated. If this type of "wow" toning were on the obverse and on more of the coin it would be 5 to high 5!...
@dddd and @Morgandude11 and @physics-fan3.14 : I have a couple more I'd like to post eventually, but I think @physics-fan3.14 was going to post next?
I would have also said 3. Sorry for slow reply.
1892 GB Half Crown PCGS OGH MS64 I also never take full slab pics of coins. Too much wasted real estate; I collect coins, not plastic.
My score was a 4 on the proposed scale, so in agreement.
Hope a non-USA coin is okay. [IMG] [IMG]
