My 2nd attempt to grade. I got this one XF45. How wrong was I? I had to use camera lightning because otherwise I couldn't get focused picture

Photographing the coin out of the 2x2 mount also helps reduce the glare. I'd probably even grade it a bit higher based on the amount of detail, but with the glare it's hard to determine the amount of luster remaining. AU50-55 for me, provisionally.

I'm at AU-50, an incredible amount of wear but it looks like there may be luster.

I would agree with AU-50 from what can be seen in the photos.

i agree with the AU50 also. place you light at an angle or use natural light to help avoid the glare. also use the optimizer on this site to crop the picture and make it larger

I concur with everyone else. AU50 is spot on, and possibly AU53, if there's luster showing.

Better, larger pics would help. Take your shot from a slight angle to avoid the flashback.

I'll try to do that next time. I was just so frustrated after 20+ tries trying to get decend picture so I posted best one of those tries without editing.
