<p>[QUOTE="WillGK, post: 8198709, member: 115517"]OK. As to general continuity of the lines, my eyesight isn’t exactly what it used to be, and I have a hard time with seeing fine technical things with a loupe. I kept thinking that that the bell lines at the left weren’t continuous, so this coin was just another pretty face that wasn’t worth submitting. Then, for the heck of it I tried taking a picture with a bazillion lumens, and by golly I think we both see the same thing in that first photo - very faint, but maybe good enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that PCGS could do a bit better at specifying criteria for cuts. It seems to me that a cut is either too much or not enough, and that this should be a technical matter, subject to specification, as opposed to being a subjective matter. And maybe it is. But if it is, why don’t they make it a bit more clear? Oh well. I’ll see if I can come up with a better shot of the v-shaped cut.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
