sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 07:39 am The close ups suggest a thinning of the patina or a weaker strike, or both, on the high points. You have to remember that the standard practice (an unwritten Code of Practice?) for all TPG's is to examine the coin with a 10 x, (no more, no less), loupe. The close ups help to 'level the playing field' for US, when viewing what is presented on the computer screen. Report this Post to the Staff
OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 07:59 am I could look at this one forever and never see an MS-65 coin, but oh well, more grading skills need to be developed. Anyway, HORAY! for TreeMonkey. That's got to be a near record...maybe expecting a 53 details grade and coming back clean and 12 points higher. I'd go buy a lottery ticket. You're on a roll.

TreeMonkey Valued Member United States 210 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 6:35 pm Lipstick on a pig? If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a coin in-hand is worth a thousand pictures. I don't know why my camera sees the coins the way it does (exacerbating flaws), but in-hand it is so much nicer...and that's all that really matters. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 10:35 am I am also surprised by the grade. However, I stand by my original opinion of the wonderful eye appeal.
