JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 8:32 pm KHald, These are really good images; may I ask what you used, a digital camera, or maybe a scanner? Thanks, ...Jackb Report this Post to the Staff
KHald Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:00 pm JackB, I did a few with the scanner on the Morgans and they turned out OK. I have since begun using my Nikon Coolpix L100 with, I think, somewhat better results. The Morgans seem to photograph more easily than other coins. I have had particular trouble with coins in slabs. I have no manual focus or any manual override on the AUTO settings so, a coin in a flip or just loose photos much better. Glad you like the photos. I need to work on the lighting but, I'm satisfied with my progress so far. Report this Post to the Staff
KHald Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:02 pm As to the cleaning responses. what is the evidence for cleaning? I am trying to learn the grading skills and would be interested in how one can tell. Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 02:08 am I'll rock the boat, AU 53 not cleaned... Report this Post to the Staff
flashinm Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 7:38 pm I see no evidence of cleaning, but it looks like it might have PVC damage. May just be the holder though. I say AU-53 Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 10:26 pm It may be cleaned but I don't think it's unmarketable for it. I can go with low AU. Real good pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 10:37 pm I don't think it has active PVC. Evidence of a cleaning is not overwhelming but it does look to have been gently cleaned at some point in the past. It won't have a severe impact on market value but will knock it down 10-15% or so v/ a more natural looking AU example. Perhaps we can get some photos of it outside of the holder?
