[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 7427378, member: 21705"]I'm going to post a bit more detailed explanation on each coin in this thread before voting. It's like a worksheet. 1. Step 1 blurs at column 3. Step 2 blurs just right of (column) C3. Step three has a minor blur between C2 and C3 and on minor blur right of C3. Step 4 has minor blurring between C2 and C3 and another under C3. Step 5 had 4 blurs between C2 and C3 and a major blur under C3. I really can't make out any more than a hint of a sixth step. SO I have to go with no on 1. 2. This is a good place to explain that I look at the "groove" above the step when describing the step. The first step being the on level with the top of the outside of the steps. Step 1 has hit and miss definition above the top step at the level just above the base of the columns. The groove below is strong, but I call that step 2. Step 2 Very strong. Step 3 Complete Step 4 Complete Step 5 Complete Step 6 50% So I would say 4 full steps, but not 5. 3. Step 1 50-75% complete Step 2 Complete Step 3 Complete Step 4 Complete Step 5 Complete Step 6 50% Very similar to 2, 4 steps, but not 5. 4. Step 1 <50% Step 2 Complete. Step 3 Complete Step 4 Complete Step 5 blurs under C3 Step 6 50% No. 5. Step 1 <10% Step 2 Complete Step 3 Complete Step 4 Minor blurs at C2 and C3 Step 5 Complete Step 6 25% No. 6. Step 1 <50% Step 2 Blur C4 Step 3 Complete but weak Step 4 Complete but weak Step 5 Complete but weak Step 6 25% No. 7. Step 1 <10% Step 2 Complete Step 3 Complete but weak Step 4 Complete but weak Step 5 Complete but weak Step 6 10% No. 8. Step 1 20% Step 2 Complete Step 3 Complete Step 4 Complete Step 5 Complete Step 6 25% No. 9. Step 1 25% Step 2 Complete Step 3 Complete Step 4 Complete Step 5 Complete Step 6 80% No. But this is the best of the lot. Note. The standard lighting angles may hide definition of the sixth step groove in shadows in most photos. A little tilt might make it visible in hand.[/QUOTE]
