My apologies to you kbbpll, I don't want to hijack your post.....I like pic 1 and 3....pic 4 shows the imperfections on the reverse nicely. I would grade it MS-63 from the pics here.

No apology necessary, I appreciate the perspectives on photos. Where is the photography forum? I don't see any links on this site.

Honestly, I like #2 the best as far as depicting the real coin. As opposed to a certain auction site, I tried to pick photos that showed the imperfections. MS63 possibility makes me stoked, but in the end the history of this coin means more to me than dollar value. Sometimes I worry about wearing it by looking at it, but getting it slabbed just seems so sterile.

Yes I am! I believe this was my very first post on CCF. Going on 10 years later, I finally had my better Canadian coins graded by ANACS. I used their conservation service and they look fantastic. I still can't take a decent picture. I did this mostly for my kids, hopefully alleviate any issues from being in the same 2x2s for 50 years, better protection, and to honor my grandfather. ANACS was a little stingy on the grade I think. Hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane.

Proof yet again that ANACS grades quite conservatively!
Love to own a collection of 62s that look like that!
