[QUOTE="RedRaider, post: 1196525, member: 27181"]Okay.....I bought the coin. I do have 10 days to return it. I am waiting on a digital microscope to come in (thanks to whomever posted the link on another thread). I have to say the picture that was originally posted is horrible. I now have the coin in hand and it has bright luster in protected areas and wonderful color on the unprotected areas. I took scans of this coin, as well as pictures with a digital camera. I must say the camera does not allow me to zoom in as much as I would like, but it allowed me to take angled pictures so you can see color and luster. The reverse has the die clash marks visible without magnification. You cannot really see them in the scans or pictures, but when I get the digital microscope, I will post more. Scans [ATTACH]125833.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]125834.vB[/ATTACH] Here is a close-up of the date. [ATTACH]125835.vB[/ATTACH] Here are some pictures I attempted to take with a digital camera. They are not great, but show how the color really looks. [ATTACH]125836.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]125837.vB[/ATTACH] Let me know if these pictures change your opinion. Thanks, RR[/QUOTE]
