I agree Mike but that is much easier said than done, especially with toned coins. I have gotten much better and plan to steadily improve now that...
Ruben, The compound is always the same. Toning on silver coins is a layer of silver sulfide on the surface. The thickness of this silver...
Right about that. And it is not the first time I have paid 10X bid for a toned coin.
Hey guys, do you know what really big coin photos mean. Really big marks. Shrink it down a little and they don't look so bad. [IMG] :)
I don't really understand that. Did I overpay because you believe that the coin is an MS66 or because you don't think a true MS67 is worth that...
Ruben, I hope the resident metallurgist means me. I have to agree with Doug on this one, this toning pattern and color scheme are quite common...

If those are really your first coin photo attempts, they are fantastic. You need a little more light, especially on the obverse, but you captured...
This coin has a retail price of $10 so I would say that $15 including S&H is fine. You should be careful though, if you are starting to collect...
