I can't wait to see Johnny's pics. I'm thinkin it looks way better than the pics show right now, they're pretty washed out. Sweet coin !

Well done indeed Johnny ... lovely coin.
Kudos as well to SsuperDdave for his excellent description of how to evaluate a coin grade by photo ... the absolute best I have ever read.

No offense intended to the seller but if your going to sell a coin of this magnitude, pictures like you took John, are a must. I originally said AU53. Now that I see your pictures, I slightly disagree with their grade. The coins eye-appeal is phenomenal! I'm almost at AU58 but not quite. Grader vermontensium would have finalized her at AU55. Wonder what it would cross as at PCGS  swcoin.ecrater.com

I have been trying to work on my photography, but always believed mine to be subpar....but at least I know that I am going in the right direction now. The seller is very well known, has his own website, and sells lots of high end coins. NFC Coins. Here is a link to my purchase. He was asking $7750, and after several counteroffers, we arrived at $7550, with free express shipping, and my $100 in ebay bucks.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/31089592342....m1497.l2649I absolutely love this coin in hand, and is the highlight of my gold collection. Maybe someday I will attempt a cross or a bean...but it still takes my breath away as it sits. |

I'm not sure those are rub marks, looks like circulation marks. Hard to tell until he gets it in hand. Beautiful coin! Nice purchase!

First, I have to say that my pictures do this coin NO JUSTICE!! Some coins I can photograph well with my single incadescant lamp and cheap digital camera, and others I can't. Here are a few, but these hardly represent the beauty of this coin in hand.
