The issue you identify is one of the biggest challenges to effectively evaluating coins from photos, and why many folks around here will say...
I guessed 4rb on both, but really wanted to guess 3rb on this one.
Rim is neither thick nor square compared to a real MPL. Instant "no" in my opinion.
Waiting to see better pics, but for $20, it's hard to go wrong. :)
Who the heck knows on this one? I looked at this coin when it was posted, but hesitated guessing the grade....confused. Immediate reaction to...
6r
D'oh!
I guessed 66+, but 67 would not surprise me.
64 RB. Tough one to grade. Coin looks fairly clean but slightly mellowed red. A few spots really distract (at least to me). I am guessing 64....
Hey, I didn't abstain! I guessed (wrong)!
Boom! Thanks for the kind words, guys. I'm kind of surprised that I could get that low. Frankly, I had to kind of cheat by not guessing on...
Are there any hairlines on the coin not visible in the photo? That's the only way I could justify a 65 grade on that coin, FWIW.
copper + fish = bad. Aquarium water tends to be acidic too. I'd only put valueless silver in the tank, 90% fine.
Great start!
5BN wouldn't surprise me, but I guessed NGC 66BN. They love lustrous brown coins.
3b. I could see it in a 2 or a 4 holder. Tough coin to read. First obverse shot looks like a 64+, second one looks like a 62. lol
Stunning coin, but not a proof, IMO. Still worth a nice premium too. Very nice coin.
Tell me why that isn't a 67. 66
In concur with John and Mark.
I don't see any of the telltale signs of a cast counterfeit. For instance, I don't see any casting bubbles or loss of detail as you see in a cast...
