<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 12452, member: 112&quot;]To be quite honest - the pics are not quite large or clear enough. It is quite hard to accurately grade a coin based on pic as it is. But with the &#039;79-S Morgan - little marks can mean a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not unusual to find very nice examples of the &#039;79-S with Proof like or semi-Proof like surfaces. Because of this - when grading these coins one needs to be a little tougher than with some other dates and mints. </p><p><br /></p><p>The pics seem to indicate something at the eye, in front of the ear, on the chin where it meets the throat and on the throat itself. I should also say that the fields appear to be somewhat scuffed. Because of these what seems like marks I would not grade this coin higher than MS63. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for enhancing pics - I do not recommend it. For those with experience it is not difficult to tell when a pic has been enhanced. This sometimes leads those who view the pic to think that perhaps the person posting the pic is trying to either hide something or make the viewer think the coin is nicer than it really is. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is not necessary to enhance pics for people to see what nice coins you have. Most will make allowances for scans not showing luster - because they know it just doesn&#039;t happen. And when it comes to color - anyone who has ever tried to capture an accurate image of a toned coin knows it can be difficult at best. So just do the best you can - and let it go at that&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
