I've been buying and selling coins for a while now, but struggle in knowing exactly what qualifies as mintstate (sometimes I think I can see wear on a coin, and then I tend to be conservative) However, I have a strong photography background, and just got a nice scanner to get some different pics, so hopefully that will be a big help in identifying the grade! Thank you in advance to anyone who helps! It means alot to me Well, here's the pics, Any ideas on grades will be greatly appreciated! 1947 50c (Curved Right 7, 7/7) Images from scanner at 4800dpi reduced to <100kb: Images from t2i and 100mm macro reduced to <100kb: 1899 5c Images from scanner at 4800dpi reduced to <100kb: Images from t2i and 100mm macro reduced to <100kb: 1910 5c Images from scanner at 4800dpi reduced to <100kb: Images from t2i and 100mm macro reduced to <100kb: Thanks again, Greg!

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 09:57 am First two AU. Third coin (1910) is MS. Let me add the grades au58 to ms62 are the most difficult to grade accurately and the most diificult to maintain consistency in grading over the years. Because what looks like a super nice circulated coin one day (au58) will appear to you six months later like a banged up uncirculated coin (ms62). Hence the flip-flop in grading.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 1:20 pm Nice coins! I agree with doubleeagle59. The 1910 appears to be MS "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 11:24 am Thanks everyone! I had a feeling the 1910 was the only MS candidate, but the other two I was curious about as well :) And I had overgraded the 1947, and am thankful for the clarification on that too. I think EF-45, AU-55 (or 53) and MS-63 are the grades I'll mark down :) Report this Post to the Staff
