cpfull,

Looks funny. Were you playing "doctor"? The hair above the ear shows some wear, but the devices are crisp ... AU55. I think there are some more "bag marks" underneath that luster.

No, I did not try to doctor it, but it was to cloudy to use outside light, and so I had a lot of reflection. The hair above the ear is slightly flat, but not much at all. I need to get a new desk lamp with more natural light, if I get to staples this weekend I will and then get better picts. I was going to trade this to just a beginer if he likes the grade, so I need to get good pictures.

I think you just need to adjust the white balance and decrease the exposure/increase the f-stop to get a decent pic. The pic is a bit overexposed and the colors are not true. I had the same issue lately and that's how I fixed it.

the front side looks MS63
the reverse looks au50

tough to grade, could look different at different angles. Overall from those photos the strong front side should make it at least ms60.
