[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 26723210, member: 36248"]Here are the two coins I want to upgrade: I like this coin mostly, but there are horizontal scratches under the "CENT" on reverse that drive me crazy. I have intentionally chosen a photography angle that shows them as you see the coin head-on in hand. Meaning, they are really not that prominent. But at other angels, and especially when shining a light on them, they appear. Once I saw them, I couldn't un-see them. So it bothers me more than it should, and so I think eventually I will replace this coin, even though I like the Obverse quite a bit. [ATTACH=full]1706217[/ATTACH] With more light on the problem: [ATTACH=full]1706219[/ATTACH] Every time I pick it up, its like "oh, its the scratched coin" :( Second coin I will upgrade in the future: Nothing wrong with the coin below, its just a bit boring. I think when I am ready to upgrade, I will go MS67 and try for a more interesting toning, or a coin in a special slab, or some other pizazz. I chose this coin back in the day because of how hammered the wheat stalks are. They just pop in my opinion. I wish the Obverse strike was better. [ATTACH=full]1706218[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
