[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3494934, member: 71642"]And for fun I cropped a screenshot from ebay, cranked the brightness/decreased saturation a tad using PicMonkey. The etsy coin is much smaller so I didn't bother. But the prongs on the ebay coin now have that 'brightyness' factor the etsy coin has on its prongs vs. the ebay one. That said, the etsy one still has a bit more detail in the laurels, but I don't think the grades are too different. Plus grading at NGC seems to be less about eye appeal and more about the technicalities, so may coins across the eye appeal and toning spectrum can carry the same grade. At least, that's how it seems to work on the world coin side. [ATTACH=full]925647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]925648[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
