<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7992939, member: 103207"]PF 64 it looks like there is something going on in the obverse field near AMERICA and below liberties foot. Also there may be something going on between Liberties head and cap. The PCGS True View images are not what the coin will look like in hand. They bring out the color but, the color you see in the image isn't really what the coin looks like. I prefer a natural picture because they tend to make the coin look like it would if you had in in hand. I learned the hard way not to judge a coin by PCGS True View images. I have a 1876 CC dime that I bought based on the True View image when I received the coin I was very surprised at how different the coin looked. At first I thought I received the wrong coin but, upon close examination it was the same coin. I have a seated dollar that I bought a few years ago that I didn't know there was a True View image of. I bought it based on how it looked in a picture taken in natural lighting. I had the dollar for a few years and posted it on a site and someone looked up the PCGS number and posted the True View image of my coin. It was shocking as how different the pictures were. The True View image gave the coin the look of a high grade coin but, the coin was only an AU58. So beware when buying a coin based on a True View image. What you see is not what you get. The picture of the 1879 dime looks fantastic but, I would like to see a picture of that coin in natural lighting. No matter what it's a nice dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
