<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 25760254, member: 151874"]Just got this yesterday for $400. I've been looking one of these for a while and finally saw one so I bought it for my type set. Since this is my first seated dollar and I'm not accustomed to estimating the grades on them, what grade do you think this would be deserving of? </p><p><br /></p><p>The nicer pictures (first two) of the seated dollar are while at the shop, which leads me to believe that I don't have optimal lighting for my coin photography here at home. From what I've read and seen, it appears that incandescent or halogen lamps are ideal, which stinks as nearly every single light source in my house is LED. Any thoughts on specific types of lighting and what works best?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I added in my other pickup from yesterday... a 1903-O Morgan for my albums. If I had to guess, I'd say a pretty solid 63 (maybe 64 if the graders were overly happy that day) so that's going to be in my album for a long time! </p><p><br /></p><p>Have yourselves a great weekend!![ATTACH=full]1645025[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645026[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645027[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645028[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645030[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645032[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645033[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
