[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2743172, member: 78244"]This statement is why I am confused and frustrated. You keep telling me how little luster my coins have, but when I look at them in hand, all three of them have full cartwheel luster in the fields (this one in particular), which is why I can here asking if they were MS or not. The other two I agree are mid-AU. From what I see on this coin, I agree with AU, but there is no chance that this is lower than AU-55. You actually graded the other two higher than this one (AU-53 vs AU-50), although in hand, this one is noticeably nicer (#1 is the worst of the three) and is the only one that looks close to MS. So does this mean that I should completely disregard everything you said about this coin's luster from the pictures? How do you know whether or not my pictures are not capturing the luster well? Do you have the coins in hand to compare them to? Have you taken pictures with an iPad before? Do you know how they affect a coin's appearance? Did you ignore all of the other pictures I uploaded of this coin? Those were my thoughts exactly. Just seeing if there was any bias to other coin series. The seated is an AU details coin to me as well.[/QUOTE]
