64
Are you sure only naturally toned coins exhibit this feature? PCGS says this coin, which exhibits the same feature, is AT: [img]...
In fairness, it could be argued that any bid for a coin above it's face or bullion value is based on emotion. There is no difference, IMO,...
I'm not seeing the photos. Perhaps the attachment server is still down?
I can't see the photo. Did it grade 67?
p.s. still a nice coin, and frankly I'm surprised it's in NNC plastic. Tell me, do you think that PCGS/NGC would slab it, and if so at what grade?

I don't say this frequently, but that's an awesome photo, Matt.
I would choose #2. #1 is a bit too short. IMO, 100mm is about the shortest lens you'll want to use for coin photos because of working distance...
I think that's a great idea. You can get the camera and standard lens, then get closeup filters to dabble with macro very inexpensively until you...
