hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 9:11 pm The 28-D has not been cleaned. The picture angle gave it an unfortunate reverse glare. I do see some wear. The 28-S is very nice. Does it make BU. Not sure as some of the reverse diagonals could be strike or wear. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 9:23 pm I'm a bit confused as to why you ask for grades on only two coins at a time. You keep adding posts about only two coins at a time. I don't think there is a law that says you can not ask for grades of more than two. Both of these are nice. Both appear to be close to AU-50 or there about. Not sure where you get these from but all have the same or similar dents and scratches as with the other ones you've been posting. Were they all in the same place? Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 9:31 pm XF-40 on the D and AU-50 on the S. Looks like they have a lot of surface marks on them which seems unusual for coins in better grade condition. Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 9:57 pm @just carl...and others This coin and others came from two different collections I have recently picked up. The dents and marks are actually my fault with the camera. I wanted to take very detailed pictures for proper grading and I ended up messing it up. I chose a camera setting the emphasizes detail. It does not make a coin's real details look any better, which I suppose is a good thing, but it does pick up every single little mark and dent. This coin and all others actually have very nice smooth surfaces in hand. The marks are all nearly invisible in hand. Furthermore, I mistakenly chose a camera angle that seams to make it look like every coin has striations on the left from the striking process. This does not really exist in hand. I did a horrible job photographing these and the grades, so far, are suffering because of it. A couple I believe are actually BU, but the photos make them look AU. The 21-PD are VF/XF IMO and the 26-S is XF, but the other non-BU pieces are AU, yet some are saying XF. All except the 21PD and 26-S have decent or great original luster. this is a repeat post from one of the other threads Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 5:09 pm As I mentioned on the other posts, regardless of the great details on all of those coins, the massive amount of dents, dinks and scratches lower the grade possibilities. Just can't come up with a decent grade on many of those due to all that damage. Sure wonder why they all have similar damaging. Something is odd about that. Sort of like someone had a great collection and then ran everything through some kinc of coin counting machine. Report this Post to the Staff
