[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2904301, member: 1892"]This is a case where the better your skills get, the worse it will look because it's the exact scenario where digital photography is harshest on a coin - high-contrast areas of lustrous silver. I said I like it because I know this and know I'd like it better in-hand. Yeah. :) It's market graded in a sense (I think it deserves the number), because the market reality is a well-dipped coin does_not_suck visually and the majority of them have been treated. It's nicer now than it was before, and has obviously been taken care of because it's only acquired the slightest of patina since. That's the reality. I did not mean to denigrate your coin, [USER=9270]@kanga[/USER], because I'd be as happy to own it as you obviously are. It is what it is, and that's OK. :)[/QUOTE]
