This is my first attempt to take pictures of my coins. It is a nice Unc Franklin. The luster is actually much nicer than it shows in the picture. I need more work on bringing out the true luster of coins. So what would people rate this coin? Thanks in advance.
Dave: Whenever possible always take the coin out of the holder before taking the picture, it will come out clearer and more accurate. As for this one, the grading (not rating) I would say is about MS-63. There is some chatter (marks) on both the obverse and reverse. Also, the 'staining' on the left obverse is questionable, it could be left over from an old dipping (cleaning solution) but, again, with the coin in the holder, it is hard to say.
