<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1489934, member: 37839"]Thank you for your clarity. That is an explanation that makes far more sense to me than a perception that it is "AU" based on one photograph, which was not an easy one to shoot, given the tone and the brightness of the coin--it has tons of luster under a fairly heavy golden tone. Grading from a photograph is often difficult--just plain reflection from the slab can make a coin's surface to look irregular. SInce I have no special "box" for photographing coins, I don't have the time to set up an optimum condition for capturing a perfect image. If the coin does not appear solidly MS 64, it is probably my photograph. I do have a Morgan Dollar template, and have had some studio work done on the high end Morgans, but time just doesn't allow me to do so for every single coin, given my business objectives. Your response was intelligent, and not knee-jerk, and it is greatly appreciated. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
