[QUOTE="iPen, post: 3028384, member: 69760"]This time it's from 1892. These photos were taken with daylight diffused through a soft, half-transparent curtain, and it helped so much to bring out the sharpness and clarity in my photos as opposed to using a couple of lamps. I see mirroring on both sides and although there's quite a bit of noise on the fields, I don't think that the mirroring is due to any sort of cleaning or polishing. There also appears to be a faint obverse proof die marker (double parallel lines in the triangular fields behind Columbus' neck), shown in the last few pics. As for a grade, maybe you agree with me? [Spoiler][B]AU-55 PL[/B][/Spoiler] Thanks in advance!
