<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1551392, member: 22585&quot;]Depending on the lighting used when taking an image, the details and depth of the coin can vary greatly.</p><p>My suggestion is to really look at the details of the coin itself. </p><p>For example, the first place I look for wear and therefore to venture a grade, is on the reverse. Look at the feathers within the wing of the eagle. This is a good indication of the overall grade of the coin. </p><p>On the obverse, you really need to look at the shield, head and the overall details of the clothing. </p><p>PCGS Photograde is of great assistance in knowing what to look for when trying to grade a raw sql.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, keep in mind circulated SLQ&#039;s are often cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>here are a couple examples of two recent ones I purchased. They were exactly as I expected them when I viewed the images. I also paid accordingly.</p><p><br /></p><p>$14 for this one</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn2.coinnection.com/shared_ii12107759500e0746b6ea0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>$22 for this one, which was a much better deal overall in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn2.coinnection.com/shared_ii121098075010a5671826a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>-greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
