I was not expecting MS-60. I think of the MS-60 grade as "it's uncirculated, but trust me you don't want it." You don't see MS-60's handed out...
I'd call it a technical MS-63, but it was probably market graded as MS-64.
I'm at a 65 on this one. I don't see booming luster and I see a few contact marks on the obverse and reverse that would keep it from a 66. Of...
I'm at a 64 as well. The strike and apparent lack of luster are holding it back.
Some great information to add to the old mental database. :) . I'll start looking at those details a little better in the future.
Yeah, that orange peel effect is very prominent on the S. I really love that look set against the PL or Semi-PL fields. :)
I'm sorry if you feel that way. Again, it was not my intention get people to try and VAM the coin. Most of the VAM threads around here seem to...
To those of you who asked when I will send it in. I want to send it in as soon as I can, but I am waiting for the tide to turn a bit at both PCGS...
I shoot at f8 in order to help make any small scratch almost invisible. I have also found that f8 tends to give enough depth of field for almost...
I have no qualms with the color. I vote NT.
I can assure you it was the first and last time I will do something like this. My goal was to try and strip the bias typically associated with...
Yeah the crack through the mint mark is a dead giveaway.
TEQUILA!!
Sorry if some of you feel like wasted time. I was not trying to get people to VAM the coin, rather simply give your opinion on the grade with an...
It's all subjective. It just depends on the size of the marks and the number of marks. Here is an 1881-S MS-65 CAC Morgan for comparison. [ATTACH]
Ok, Sorry for the deception, but this Morgan is NOT a San Francisco issue. The 1881 dated Morgans that come from any other Mint other than San...
Good eye, I didn't catch that when I was photographing it. It's a hair that did not blow off.
Nikon does in fact make a right angle viewfinder. There are also some 3rd party manufacturers. I used to use one with my Nikon D300 back when I...
Thank you guys for the feedback so far. A lot of you are confirming my thoughts on grade. I would be happy with a 65 and ecstatic for a 66...
I have a 15 foot USB 3 active extension cable attached to my Nikon USB cable. This may be an option for you. The active extension cables supply...
