Getting Better!
PCGS published standards indicate that the entire area is the focal area, but in practice, I bet you are right that hits on the bands are treated...
Ruben, I don't think we are on the same page here. What do you mean only focal in the center?
Yes, the fasces, blade, and mintmark are the focal areas of the reverse of a Mercury Dime. This is not my opinion, it comes directly from THE...
Oh how sad! And you have the balls to call me childish!
Wow, you really don't know how to read do you? That $18 nickel is not graded MS67 by NGC, it is listed as raw and GEM Uncirculated. But thank...
You are the one who has a problem with reading comprehension BN. Under description in every E-Bay listing is the phrase "Seller assumes all...
If you have been following the discussion, why would you post coins that are cheaper on E-Bay? Please explain your logic! And, no it isn't easy...

Yep, here is another from the same proof set. Direct Lighting [IMG] Diffused Lighting [IMG] Whenever I sell these coins on E-Bay, I...
Ruben, ssssshhhhhh, if you tell everyone, it won't work!
Whenever I photograph a coin, I always start with two gooeseneck lamps positioned at 10 & 2 o'clock with the lights pointed straight down at the...
I am a little confused. What lighting setup are you using? The lighting setup in the photo you provided has the lights at a very low angle. It...
LOL, my only offer would be to photograph it properly and sell it for him.
If the steps are full that affects the price dramatically. The current value of 1943-P MS66 5FS is between $65-$80. I would expect a raw gem...
I posted an open BIN listing because that is similar to what B&M dealers do. Do you know any B&M dealers who run their own auctions? I never...
LOL, just one guy? FYI, most of the toned coin sellers juice their photos. And as long as an E-Bay seller offers a no questions asked return...
