<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2300214, member: 37839&quot;]I reiterate--the coin is generally clean.&nbsp; I buy coins with as clean surfaces as I can when it comes to bright ones (non-toners), or I don&#039;t waste my money.&nbsp; There are clearly bag marks, but they are very slight, compared to the general MS 63-64 GSA Morgans.&nbsp; You are obviously not used to looking at relatively clean ones.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also use a very expensive camera that doesn&#039;t exaggerate every flaw to make it look like the Grand Canyon, and shoot with indirect light.&nbsp; You tend to accentuate the flaws in your coins from the way you shoot pictures--that is probably why you have had some lower guesses than you would like in GTG postings.&nbsp; Getting a MS 65 CC Morgan with clean face and only minimal bag marks in the fields isn&#039;t all that unusual.&nbsp; That was my picture--I know what camera angles make the coin look more like a coin in hand, as opposed to a portrait of Crater Lake National Park. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; Before you accuse people of retouching coins, learn to grade more accurately, and not make impulse purchases of coins that aren&#039;t that attractive for the grade. When you do buy ones that are &quot;worth it,&quot; you have gotten the due praise that the coin deserves--including from myself.&nbsp; However, indiscriminate impulse buying leads to getting coins that don&#039;t necessarily look great in grade.&nbsp; You are guilty of that, and palm your guilt off on others when they complain that your choices are overgraded, or not all that big in the eye appeal department for the grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
