I know the grade...well what the grading company says it is. The Obverse has a noticeable slap to the face. I don't necessarily agree with the grade. MS63 is a bit generous.
Agreed, I'm more interested in the label But looking at the weak reverse...that adds a little more interest to the coin.
Those claw marks....I posted a coin here with several of those on the obverse, face and outside the face. Very similar marks. I was told mine was a fake. Oddly, if mine is a fake, it was done 50 plus years ago, because the coin had been in a vault that long. One day I may take it to a dealer to verify that. If it is real, I may send it off for grading.
Thanks. It’s a common date Morgan. I don’t see anything that stands out as it’s a fake. However, being common and with those circulation marks it would be a waste of money to certify it. You could buy one in MS, with less marks, for less than the cost of the grading fees.
Oh I know. I posted it here because I was asking if those odd repeating marks were a strike through of some sort/or serious die deterioration?
I used the macro setting, yes. It was not taking a clear photo at all otherwise. I may purchase another camera, I don't think they are very expensive.
I would imagine that a simple coolpix. (or newer model would work fine. Then transfer the photos to your laptop thru an SD card. It should get you descent photos.
