One of my friends is a moderator of that thread. Thanks for the better pictures—that coin is utterly magnificent! You did well. I can imagine that coin in a PCGS/ CAC new slab with a 66 or 66+ grade.
Well, Brandon Kelley's (poorguy) photos certainly qualify as professional quality in my book. That coin is just stunning!
3.0 ...nice overall and a slight bump for being a world coin (would be lower on the Morgan scale in my opinion)
A 6 on that Morgan and a 5.8 on the previous IHC proof! For some reason I keep getting dropped from updates to this thread. Can anyone explain why and what I need to do to prevent this in the future?
4 for me on that Mark. That is beautiful. I have a few more to post so if you could put me in the line up that would be appreciated @ddddd
At the top, do you see this? Where it says "Unwatch Thread" for me, what do you have? If it is "Watch Thread" then click on it. If it says "Unwatch" click on that and then click "Watch" right after (not sure if it will help, but maybe it will work as a sort of reset).
I was a 3.0 on the Mark. It is exceptional for the particular issue (MS68 and double-sided toner!), but the colors are not of the saturation and deepness to compare to a monster Morgan.

I reset it again. This is the second time this has happened to me. Is the "CAC or not to CAC" thread still active? I haven't gotten any messages for a long time. No respect, no respect at all I say!
A 1958 toned Lincoln Proof cent for your judgment. I give this one a 3 just because the toning is not throughout the coin.
@ddddd I have more to post and will gladly wait in line as I am learning much from you all. Also soon the pictures won’t be as amazing as the images from @robec. Thank you for the great opportunity you have given me.
3.0. Toning is nice, but too much spotting on the coin. By the way, @SSG_Gonzo, toning fully covering the coin is not necessary for the overall toning to be beautiful. That is somebody’s misconception.
The spotting bothers me quite a bit, so I'm a bit lower at 2.4 on this one. I also don't think the "spectrum" of the toning is in the colors that tend to attract much attention. Finally, toned proofs in general just seem to underwhelm me.
