1938 LWC Grading And Opinions

Thanks tbop, coinfrog, river4449. Looking at PCGS photograde, this one is at least 66. I say 67+ or better. Chatter on 67 and 68 on photograde. This has less distractions and same if not better luster, eye appeal

Nice coin. MS64 for me. Personally, I like toning that comes from how the coin has been stored over many, many years.

If one hates toning, the coin will be seen as less-than-pleasant. If one likes toning, they'll like what the toning adds to the appeal of the coin. Pretty much a matter of individual taste.

Thanks ijn1944. Thanks chronos. I'm new to the grading thing. Apparently not as high grade as I thought. Reality check. Thanks all

The first pics show nice luster but the light is too strong. You're almost there actually with your pictures. You just need to dial in the lighting. Suggest a white background, a piece of copy paper is best. It's impossible to mentally adjust your pictures for mental, white balance correcting with anything but white.

The objective is a perpendicular picture and getting the lighting so it's not too much or too little. Try bring out the luster without too much light. Do you have a white balance option in your camera?

Thanks kenkat. RB look probably due to lightning.
