SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/16/2014 5:15 pm Quote: Why do the surfaces look so grainy? Artifact of the in-camera sharpening process on a high-megapixel sensor. Or maybe he sharpened it too much in postprocessing. Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 12:11 pm there are 33 different varieties in 1853 - unless you see a characteristic die marker, it is going to take a couple hours. Report this Post to the Staff
