The trouble most folks with enlarging pics is the try to blow them up too large. This is not necessary. Rarely will ever blowup a pic to more than...
Most folks know about me and Netherlands ducats - just can't resist the little devils :D So when I ran across these two - well you know the rest...
You just aint whistlin Dixie !! The Eliasberg pedigree on the slab often results in the coins bringing 3x - 5x book value for the coins as well ;)
Amen to that ;) But for those that don't have such pics - it often pays to be able to "massage" the ones you do have :D
The pics were not that good - so I blew them up. The reverse has quite a bit of wear that is visible on the eagle. As for the obverse - it was to...

I think the rim dings are gonna do ya in on that one kiddo - there's actually 4 of them. The crystal ball says ANACS will send that one back MS63....

Wellllllll - never really had one of those - a mentor that is. But I did teach an old guy how to fly a kite once long ago. So anything is possible...
