SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 11/03/2007 11:37 pm Zach, It probably is BU ... I would say MS62. There isn't a lot of chatter in the fields, but the devices show some dings and the strike is weak. Check the eagle on the reverse and the feathers in the wing. On full strikes the eagle is full and the feathers visible. It also is not quite FBL. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 11/04/2007 10:41 pm No grade opinion...but you are taking some AWESOME pictures Zac! Sorry to go off topic..but...is your background white? If so, you need a white balance calibration. It's kind of bluish, I had the same issue when I changed lighting. See my thread in photograph, still a nice pic. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 11/04/2007 10:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

justjimrob Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 11/05/2007 12:27 pm Nothing to add but I saw MS-62 before reading any of the others so I think you have a pretty good consensus. The pictures are very nice. How many have you taken since getting the new lens? Jim Report this Post to the Staff
