PCGS states that a DMPL has to have clear reflectivity of at least 6 inches. It cannot have any distortion or die polish lines that would...
This is one of a pair of coins that make up the first graded coins, I have bought in close to 2 years. I figured if I was going to buy a graded...
Very cool GTG!! I went MS-63. I don't see something like this circulating enough to get to an AU grade.
It's a nice looking coin!! I was close though... ;)
I'm not sure if this is your coin, or if you are just using it as an example. But I would guess MS-65 with a shot at 66. The unfortunate thing I...
I would have to agree with @rmpsrpms when it comes to axial vs. standard lighting. The artistic look works great if you are using the image as a...
Glad to be back! The last year and a half has been one of the toughest in my life. Coins really had to take a back seat. I'm slowly getting...
My first GTG in a while! I'm going with my instincts and and call it a 63PL. It has pretty nice frosty devices set against darker fields. The...
Nice score!! That was time well spent!
I'll be the first to say MS63 DPL. It looks like she has some really nice looking mirrors.
I need to get an example of this. The Texas and Oregon are two of the most beautiful commemoratives in the series. It's hard to judge on these,...
That is a cool stack! Surely a nice addition to any collection. I know I would love it in mine. :)
Thanks, it's good to see you as well. I'm leaning conservative on this one as the images look like there could be either large hits or some kind...
I'm at a 63. I could see a grumpy grader giving it a 62 on a Monday morning for the hard hits on Anna's cheek and chin though.
Nice looking 64! The reveal image has me more at a 65 than the 66 I guessed. It now hows more of the flaws revealed that were hidden in the...
I typically shoot at ISO 100 or 200 to keep noise down to a minimum and keep dynamic range at the maximum. Aperture depends on the coin I am...
Another really nice looking 66. This one has what looks like nice flashy semi-PL obverse and reverse. :)
I would go 66 with a nice looking semi-PL obverse. Nice Morgan! I have not bought a Morgan in over a year and this one is giving me that itch. :)
I'm at a high 65 shot 66. FSB will depend on the grading company. NGC likes to see the McDonalds arches on the center bands and PCGS only cares...
So the shots that are of the full coin, I shoot with a four light setup. The lights are the Jansjo lights from Ikea. My camera is mounted...
