<p>[QUOTE=&quot;luvNlife, post: 25073236, member: 38897&quot;]I&#039;m hoping to learn from folks here that know a lot more about this than I do. I believe it&#039;s a bit tough because of the white balance being so far off. I do know quite a bit about photography, and that problem is obvious to me. Just as an experiment I took some pics of a slabbed MS64 coin and tweaked the white balance a bit to get this same type of color. Makes it impossible to really analyze luster. In my very much a newbie opinion, with the lack of wear to the high points on the obverse and reverse I&#039;m not sure this coin was circulated. I don&#039;t have enough experience to determine how much of that may be due to an especially good strike. I&#039;ve looked at some highly graded MS coins that didn&#039;t have as much detail in the hair above the ear as this coin. I feel like I will know more once I see the coin in person and can tell what, if any, luster it still has. To my newbie eyes I don&#039;t see a lot of wear. I&#039;ve seen MS60-62 coins with similar markings in the field and on Liberty&#039;s face. Anyone that is willing to offer some thoughts to help educate a new guy would be really appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
