panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18693 Posts	Posted 06/07/2016 6:32 pm i think the obverse hits are little too deep and in the most prominent location to allow it to go to 64 so I'm at MS63RD on this one Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/07/2016 6:47 pm Thank you everyone for posting your thoughts. I was hoping that this coin would bear out even or better than the second specimen. But I respect and appreciate your input. I'm happy to say that the issues noted were common to the concerns I had while spying this coin. So with that, I'm pleased that I'm dialing in on my grading skills. I have a third to post, but I'm going to really work on the lighting to get it as good as I can. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/08/2016 10:50 am Thanks folks! Very much appreciated! Shafta - full luster which was causing me glare unless I diffused the lighting. In the end it brings out the details better but luster is lost. I wanted to get shots with natural lighting but clouds came and foiled my plan. Sunny now but rain forecasted soon. I will lose yet again. Thanks for checking in! Report this Post to the Staff
