Those pictures are dark, underlit, and don&#039;t show the coin well. I&#039;ll bet in hand, the fields are nicely reflective and the toning is attractive and multicolored. There are some obvious hairlines, but no different than any other proof of this era. I&#039;ll bet that coin is actually quite attractive, and we&#039;d all be ogling it with a proper photographer at the helm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Proofs are impossible to grade from pictures - tiny toned proofs are even more impossible! </p><p><br /></p><p>In answer to your question - they use a strong light, a low power magnifier, and years of experience. These are no different than any other coin... just a little bit smaller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
