Nice coin, Baha! Congrats on the NEWP & thanks for sharing...MIke
That's kind of scary.
That's quite a coin, Matt. How did you come by it? Just curious...Mike
How about 90% isopropyl alcohol?
I believe the gold I have is 99.9% (i.e. 0.999 fitness). I have a few AGEs and quite a few Krugerrands.
GDJMSP, I'm surprised you didn't quibble about the weakly struck shoulder and the planchet defects visible therein. ;) On a serious note, what...
[img] It was my paternal grandfathers coin.
$227. So there! :p No really, I guess $300. Neat coin, Shane. Although I suspect the toning may be too dark for some, I find coins like that...
If it's that good of a coin, why isn't it in a + or 65 holder? Call me cheap, but paying 80%+ of the next grade up is uncommon for me (except...
How many of those coins were 1910-S G$5 in MS 64. ;) The point being "average" coins (like those typically found on eBay) go for "average"...

gbroke, Quite an improvement! :) ...Mike

You want to (pardon the pun) focus on the ability to use a grey card and do a custom white balance for the lighting you're using. Otherwise...
Neat coin. Whenever I see a well-worn commem, I wonder how it got to be so circulated. Mistaken as a regular half dollar? Pocket piece? Rock...
RLM, I was a bit on the fence between 65 RB and 64 RD (although the second set of photos suggest RB). Sometimes, I see coins like these go either...
I was torn between 62 and 63. Guessed 62 on obverse detail (or lack thereof) -- what a crappy obverse strike! Are they all struck like this?
At first glance, I thought 65BN, then changed to 64BN when I noticed a bit of obverse high-point rub.
Or both! :)
p.s. you might also color correct your monitor -- as that could be part of the problem.
