DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 11:18 am Taking another look at the 1898, I'd like to raise a small flag. Something is a bit unnatural looking about the fields--they are almost too smooth and free of marks. Perhaps the coin really looks that way, or the image is doctored to look better. I hope not. Update: I have circled the areas that look unnaturally smooth and free of marks normally seen on AU-low MS coins: Edited by DVCollector 11/29/2011 12:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

LowLife Valued Member United States 368 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 5:24 pm I will know for sure in a few days...the coins are on their way to me.... Let's say that coin is genuinely free of marks......does that make it a high MS coin? I agree that it looks mark free, but I'm pretty sure the photos are undoctored and that the coin is legit. I will update everyone once they arrive! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 6:03 pm Shafta, I think the coin is real; I just suspect its appearance is "helped" digitially. I've worked in photoshop long enough to tell when pixels have been manipulated--they appear "smeared." Still--I hope I'm proven wrong! Let's re-grade your coins when they arrive.
