Sucker bait as in that coin is not anywhere near "GEM BU". To me it looks harshly cleaned, and completely dead of all luster.
Given that the picture is 250x250 pixels, your guess is as good as mine.
That Laura Gardin Fraser bust is amazing....I love that design! :thumb:
Here is your newest 1884 pic with some post processing. It's a nice image. You are on the right track! Keep practicing! -Brandon [ATTACH]
I shoot on partial metering, but I didn't mention that setting originally because Nikons don't have it. Canon's have center weighted and partial...
I use photobucket if I'm actually uploading them somewhere, otherwise I just upload them directly from my computer to CT. In general, there is no...
Are you shooting with a tripod or a copy stand? If you're using the Canon T3 you have a very nice camera. All of my recent shots are taken with...
Most USA coins are very well lit with lights at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. I personally also add a light at 12 o'clock for some filler light and...

Here are some sample images I have taken with the exact same camera you have. I don't use it anymore for imaging coins, but it a very capable...

OK, I suppose I can post this here. [ATTACH]
Beautiful coin, but I'm surprised it graded out at MS67 with that obverse rim bruise at 1 o-clock. I LOVE the toning. :thumb: EDIT: By the way,...
NGC does and continues to grade all US coins using the PL and DPL designation when appropriate (since March 1, 2003). See this link for the...
The sub-question was guess the grades. The barcodes said 63 and 62, so that's what I guessed. ;) The better question is why would someone grade...
I don't want to spoil it too much, but I did a little research quick on the populations at NGC. For all Washington quarters from 1932-1998 (a...
At least you didn't just say "BU" today. :hail:
MS66PL. Nice coin.
