JonS.7070 Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 11:09 pm Nice coin. From what I can see I would say a 64 maybe a 65. It seems that you are having the same trouble getting the right lighting that I am. I am able to take a decent (not great) picture of lightly toned coins or coins without a really reflective surface. But when it comes to white Morgans or your coin for example I just cant get it right. Is this coin slabbed? Report this Post to the Staff
norseman012 Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 11:10 pm very beautiful walker Great picture I would grade this coin, if there is no signs of a rub anywhere and being a strong strike with very nice dress lines and full eagle breast feathers a MS65+ to 66.

newdavid Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 11:18 pm Not slabbed. Jon S your right the lighting is just playin with me bad. Almost frustrating at some points. All I can do is step back for a second and try different things. I know Ill get it. How long is a different story. Thank you all for your comments. Report this Post to the Staff
jewellge Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 09:35 am Beautiful, the skirtlines go across the knee and the branches are split. If that's golden tone and not lighting shadows, I LOVE THIS COIN. Only distraction is in the obverse field above the legend. I've had problems taking good pictures too, from this one I can see that the lighting is probably positioned at 11-1 o'clock. You can see the shadow on the obverse from 4-8 o'clock and on the reverse from 3-8 o'clock. The lighting had to be just about over the high spot and diffused. I read yesterday about using an old 1 gallon plastic milk container to diffuse, which I'll try soon. Otherwise it's a true beauty Report this Post to the Staff
groganking Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 09:43 am Nice strike and overall nice appearance. A considerable number of hairlines and minute scratches on both sides are distracting enough that I would say MS64. Report this Post to the Staff
newdavid Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 7:37 pm I paid 37 dollars for it at the local coin shop. The dealer said ms 61 62. I was thinkin 63 with a shot at 64. Thank you for your time and comments. Report this Post to the Staff
