[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 997089, member: 17555"]Yeah,, Luster and strike are my concerns for 67. The detail is better than shown in the pics on the reverse,, doors and windows are complete and visible, but abit faint. The steps are not complete, but somewhat stronger than shown. I dropped the saturation in the pics down to 60 because my pics always have a lot of red in them... just can't get that stinking white balance right... so it gives it that scanned look. Added a couple more pics with no saturation changes, and sharpness dialup up as far as the photo editor would allow... you can see a bit more noise now,, on the cheek, behind the ear, etc... but this is hard to see in hand without at least 5-10x..... Good luster on the obv imo....booming luster is definitely lacking on the reverse,, the coin was in an old binder and it's dulled the reverses some. That said, the lack of hits on the reverse is notable,, let me know if you see any,, I can't find one.... I wonder if I sent it in to NGC for 'conservation' and grading if it would help get the luster back up to 67 standards,,, ,, and would it be worth it ? I see 87 of these in 67 from pcgs.. none in 68. Anyone know what the populations are for ngc for this date ? Gonna go through the rest of my unc jeff's and see if I can get 3-4 to submit,, if it's worth it.... if I do, i'll pass them by ya'll in this thread,, your feedback is kindly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
