Message:: [QUOTE="WashQuartJesse, post: 3601234, member: 18323"]Received the 1911-D and it does not resemble the 2nd photo which I edited and posted on the last page. In hand, the olive described in Legend's auction is more obvious, especially on the reverse. Coin has a nice touch of that coppery/rose but is more "yellow" than expected. More luster than anticipated, which is nice. It's got a scratch running above the date which appears to be PMD that both CAC and PCGS did not flag? Overall, I'm satisfied w/ the coin and find it very attractive, in hand. It's nicer the more I look at it but I overpaid (not terribly), given today's market. Legend's listing was: "This is a totally original CHOICE AU example of this KEY date. This is the exact opposite of what is normally seen for this date/grade. Rich olive and wheat gold toned surfaces. Just light wear in the fields and a few scattered marks are noted that do not detract from the eye appeal." One thing I am extremely excited about, is my new ability to take and share quality photos, finally! This is all thanks to my purchase of member rmpsrpms' modified system 9 which I couldn't be happier with! This is my 4th coin ever shot on this system and it was done in haste w/ little attention paid to quality. 1911-D in hand...[ATTACH=full]963718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]963719[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
