<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pr69, post: 2319876, member: 74498&quot;]Here&#039;s a better pic using the new technique I&#039;ve learned in the past couple of days.&nbsp; Though my technique can still be improved since I just can&#039;t seem to capture the luster I see in-hand.&nbsp; Most of the scratches you see in this high resolution photo aren&#039;t seen with the naked eye, so it looks beautiful in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>For grading, I&#039;m referencing Coin World&#039;s &quot;Making the Grade&quot; book, third edition.&nbsp; Their MS-63 note for a Peace Dollar says &quot;uncirculated with attractive mint luster, which may be slightly impaired.&nbsp; May have distracting contact marks in prime focal areas and a few scattered or small patch of hairline scratches.&quot;&nbsp; When you get down to MS-61 it says things like &quot;unattractive coin&quot; and &quot;noticeable patch or continuous hairline scratches&quot;.&nbsp; So that&#039;s my reference material and source of all my learning thus far.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468679[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
