<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 6518369, member: 4920&quot;]Yeah, even MS62 is a little optimistic. Too much extracurricular activity going on. Think of it in terms of the way your eye moves through it, start there. Is it graceful, or is it erratic, and chaotic? Eye movement is the chief determinant on how you feel about it. That&#039;s why artists pay so much attention to it. It&#039;s why engravers do, too, when they put in and take out detail. That&#039;s a conscious decision on their part to control your eye movement through the coin. They know the detail is the first place the eye goes to. And you thought they left all that to chance, lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at your obverse, again. Do you see why MS61, now? Maybe MS62, but on a good day? Your eye can&#039;t sit still on that lovely thing. It&#039;s certainly not moving the way the engraver intended it to move. After all that painstaking work on it he did...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
