I think the cleaning is fairly obvious. Where are the scratches? Are they calling the hairlines "scratches"? Ooh, too bad you don't like CBH's....
Y'all are being kind of vague.... Besides the mintmark, what else is pointing to this as being fake? This is a series I'm less familiar with, so...
Haha, that would be a pretty clear indication that's a fake!
I've always enjoyed your overlays, rmp. Keep up the good work!
I'll be honest, trying to guess the assigned grade and grader is nearly impossible. I'll wager that the assigned grade is PCGS 67. However, I'll...
There is no way in Hades that coin grades 66. It may get a 65 if you bribe the graders, but I like it best at 64.
I can't speak for him, of course, but I'm fairly certain he's referring to the streaky white spots on her cheek and neck, and the field in front...
Struck through grease.
I'm not seeing what you're saying. Could you try taking a couple more pics with different lighting and rotation angles to try and show what you're...

Yeesh, need some imagination to get an S out of that! But yes, it is from die erosion.
I do like this one better. More frames, each for a shorter time. Still not perfect.... I will keep working on this. Interesting tip... there's a...
Well, here's my first attempt. I'm not completely thrilled with it yet, but it is moving in the right direction. I need to figure out the lighting...
Something besides a Morgan for a GTG! Amazing! I haven't figured out yet how to adapt the SLEC scale to the circulated coins. Strike is less...
There's an ignore thread feature!!?! I knew there was an ignore user feature (and really, this guy deserves it), but I didn't know there was a...
What you are looking for does not exist. The PCGS photograde site is based off the book by James Ruddy called "Photograde." It is, as you mention,...
Hahahaha hahahahah haahaa hhaaaahaaahaa ...... hhhaaaaahaaahaaahahahaahahaahahaaahhaa .... hhhhaaahaaahahahahaaahaaaah....... Or maybe that...
Hmmm... no idea what you've shown us. Could you describe these things? What are they? Why are they special? Why did you buy them? How do they fit...
Long story short: Return that baby immediately! Strike: 64+ (that is a decent strike. The common assumption is "O Mint strikes are bad"... but...
