Market acceptable toning IMO.
ROFL! :D :too-cool-for:
Indeed, almost everyone one of these I've seen had harshly polished coins in them.
My guess they were grumpy and the small right obverse field hit and stain held it back. That's a prime focal area, it's the first thing I noticed,...
Indeed, I've crossed that road a couple times. Ultimately, I decided to reduce my quantity and increase my quality. I already fill two large bank...
Indeed! This whole photograde thing rocks. I once again have to thank baha and Dick for doing these! :D
Let's say Larry has exactly 10 guesses and I have exactly 20 guesses, we both still only drop 10% of our lowest grades. We're even then.
Dear Lord, here we go again, I'll surely be off a point. Maybe I should abstain. LOL
Though one, hardly a hit on it. Cartwheel luster would move it up a grade.
There should be a way to factor in the number of guesses so folks with more guesses get more credit.
lololol
WOW! That's a lot of sets! Impressive!
I'll have to ask him to see if he remembers, he turned 97 yesterday....but he's pretty sharp still. He started collecting in the 1940's. I know...
Luster, that's what the TPG's like. There's a tinge of some darker red toning, that's where the "brown" is.
If you run across an inexpensive, raw one, please pick it up for me. I'll buy it and analyze it. Thanks
Here's another one.
I can show you mine. My grandfather purchased it from the Mint. They don't get anymore original than this!
TPG's love luster and most of these are glowing. SP-66
Yea, I remember that one. I haven't tried, but I suspect if you put the coin on ice and use a torch on one side you could get this effect on one...
It's one of those coins that's really in between 63 and 64, I'm shocked they didn't go with the conservative 63.
