<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 857101, member: 17555&quot;]Round 10 recap:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First,, thanks for the kudo&#039;s regarding my picture taking ability.... It has been a learning experience and ya&#039;lls constant complaining, and ranting, and general beach&#039;n pouring down on my head was a good motivator. It is appreciated. To those also learning:</p><p>1 - light, light, lighting !!!</p><p>2 - manual focus,, forget the auto-focus.</p><p>3 - multiple shots of each coin&#039;s obv and rev,, up to 20-25 per side for some of the harder to picture, fewer for those that pop right into focus (after a while, you&#039;ll know what I mean here). The spend abit of time choosing the best one from the multiple shots. it is a time consuming task, but nice to have a good pics archived of your lil&#039; collection so when the good ones go back into the bank vault, you can still look at them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Welcome Tater.. have fun. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ANACS grades - </p><p>96 - MS67 RD </p><p>09S - EF45 BN </p><p>18 - MS62 BN </p><p>32D - AU58 BN (the whammo in this group)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Opinions:</p><p>96 - What a 67 should look like imo... no spotting, clean, good details. I noticed what appears to be DD&#039;ing on the reverse D and S of uniteD and States.. thought it was cool so picked it up. New dd variety just sleeping out there ? or MDD ?</p><p>09S - weaker obv strike, nice even color. Hard to grade from pic,, but ya&#039;ll did pretty good. </p><p>18S - Easily my favorite woody cent toner I&#039;ve seen, so got it. Bands are bluer and reder in hand,, on a golden background... How it got BN&#039;ed I have no idea, should be RB easily, but tpg color application has always bothered me at times, often more so than grading variability. Also an upgrade candidate imo.</p><p>32D - Dunno, I can&#039;t see any wear other than maybe the cheek, but I think that&#039;s strike. Compare this one at 58 to the previous 11D at 60 and you tell me what you think. I think this is an upgrade candidate. Congratulations to Louie2bits for being the only one to breach the AU potential on this one,, and then posting an MS grade..... ; )</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Awards for this set of cents:</p><p>Best - Louie2bits - 1.75 &gt; Another hard round, solid score. </p><p>HA - Shoe - 4.75 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />,,,, man you just don&#039;t do the middle ground,,, I like the conviction. </p><p>Others:</p><p>RLM&#039;s - 3.0 </p><p>Duke - 2.5</p><p>BadThad - 3.25</p><p>Tater - 2.0</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another tough round with most significant delta&#039;s coming from the 32D...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On to Round 11.. the fun round,, winner takes the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
