ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 11/09/2005 2:14 pm Difficult If the left arm was more pronounced I would say MS65 obverse I do not know whether that year had a general problem with a week strike or not The reverse lacks a lot of details in the feathers so no rating possible without a better picture Report this Post to the Staff
Christoph123 New Member Germany 6 Posts	Posted 11/10/2005 09:30 am Thank you ageka for your answer. You are right, the quality of pictures is quite bad :( . The structures (incl. the left arm) are much more pronounced in reality. I need to make new pictures. Think my scanner is too old :D . Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 11/10/2005 10:07 am You see the shadow ? First trick try and let the light come from above so that the shadow is at the bottom If your scanner has a setting use 300 dpi if possible and select on preview only the area of the coin and nothing else Save as a bitmap file then go and convert it to jpeg and post it here My scanner is 7 years old but it was build to convert paper color fotos to electronic color photos and so I am very happy with it If the reverse is as good remains the question what are the black dots at the end of the eagles feathers Report this Post to the Staff
Christoph123 New Member Germany 6 Posts	Posted 11/11/2005 05:35 am Ok, I tried my best: It´s hard to get a well picture of the left arm. It is much better pronounced than it looks on the picture. I would say the strengthens and prounouncing of the left arm is as strong as the one of the sheets of the bush. Edited by Christoph123 11/11/2005 05:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
