westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 10:27 pm Not sure where the Eisenhower head fits in? THe photos are tough to tell a grade on when not shot from directly straight overhead the coin, slanted/angled photos are not the best position to grade from, but from I see I'll say AU55 due to what looks like shiny areas of light rub that has broken the luster on the high points.

jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 10:29 pm Oops.... I grabbed the wrong file. :) I tried to shoot them from "head on" but the glare was so extreme you'd see my reflection. For what it is worth, the close ups are shot "head on", I know that doesn't do much in terms of the bigger picture but, with what I had and my experience level, these were the best pictures I could grab.

jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 10:33 pm Hint: keep in mind the close up pictures have dark areas because the metal is touching the plastic lid cover... I am shooting all these pictures through plastic. Report this Post to the Staff

jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 11:06 pm Ok, didn't mean to offend anyone, how exactly do you take a straight on picture of a coin with full mint luster without catching the reflection of the camera on the coin thus making it look dark and light in odd areas?

52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8516 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 1:13 pm Silver isn't easy to capture, especially through plastic. The very first pic looks like a highly polished obverse but your close ups disprove that. It's gonna take some practice to get good pics. My silver pics look like heck lol.

jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 12/16/2013 04:22 am @Joseph7420 - you were very close MS64.. I agree I have examined this very closely... I may send for a second grade because the luster is flawless maybe I can get it bumped up? It is a "clean" coin meaning PCGS did not find any evidence of cleaning or alterations... it is just perfect. In person it looks like it just rolled off the press. @2Raymo - Thank you...
