<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2562499, member: 73983"]It's funny that this animation really brought out that chatter above LIBERTY. In hand with a 3X loupe it is nearly invisible even while rotating it in hand and dancing the cartwheel around. The areas that appear darker almost brown in the image are a slightly deeper orange red rather than brown like they appear in the image. It's a really difficult coin to capture the color correctly. A silver coin is so much easier to capture. But I got to examine this coin very well before making my purchase and I am confident that it would make 65 and more than likely Red designation when I send it in. I have a few coins set aside to send in soon, I'm thinking PCGS. So when I do get the grades back on it, I will let you all know. Good news or not. LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>I absolutely agree with [USER=77413]@RonSanderson[/USER] about how this kind of image gives a very good representation of a coin compared to a static image. But it's unfortunately only something that would be financially feasible with a much more expensive coin. (I'm not attempting to advertise here Mods) But if I was offering this as a service right now, because of how much effort it takes to put together, I would be looking at charging from $50 - $75 for this kind of service. Between the two images above there were 60 images taken, 30 for the obverse and 30 for the reverse. It takes time to put these together, but in my opinion very much worth the effort. The nice part about an animated GIF is they are compatible with nearly anything that can view an image. Once they load into cache they can play forever where as a video has to be either streamed or downloaded and has more limitations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
