I'm convinced it's the spots Dick and I marked. They did extensive work on the obv, and it incorporates the ear. And you can even see the...
Try shooting some close ups of the spots marked by Dick and I.
What does any of that have to do with the E though ?
Jello - this is what the one from the Mexico City mint looks like - [IMG] Yours is from Zacatecas.
OK - shoot your pics. But mark the spots you are talking about, maybe I'm not looking in the same place you are.
Don't think so Matt. Measure the spot you are looking at in the E from both the vertical and the horizonal lines. It doesn't line up with the...
This one didn't. But people are under the mistaken perception that natural toning only occurs after a long period of time has passed. While this...
I don't see how they could do anything else but that. edit - there is one caveat though. PCGS will grade coins as a 70 even when they are...
Attractive ? No, not to me. I will say this though. That coin is a good example of something. That bluish toning in the center, that is what we...
I wasn't trying to bait you into anything. But there is no way that grading standards can start at the bottom and go up. For one thing, if you...

Zeke the problem with your method is that the bags are not airtight. While they do add a level of protection, it would still be better to keep the...
oval - your crosshairs pretty much confirm that the red rev I marked and the green obv Dick marked are the spot. What you have to realize is that...
It's because the paper and cardboard are loaded with sulphur. Not good for coins. The sets or the other coins in the same safe.
You're right Dick, it's obvious when you see both the pics I marked one right above the other in my post. 'Course I didn't have that advantage...
Here's your plug -
Actually the grading scales are based from the top down, not the bottom up. And it could be no other way.
OK - just think about it for a minute. A coin's original owner places it in his album. The coins starts to tone and gets a ring of color around...
It's fine ;) But just so you know, there is a special section for posting test pics in the Support and Feedback section.
[IMG] You do it however you want. If it works for you then it'll work for me too ;)
