Howdy, I am into all the normal stuff, mostly modern. Like everyone, my preference for MS keepers falls in line. Errors and varieties too. I also like the worst of including spectacularly worn dies, heinous DDD or MD among other things. I even have a collection of the most mangled and abused. Here is one I am thinking about buying although I have a few concerns about it.     |

That definitely looks like an NGC slab. Don't buy a 1932 S right now, the price for those has been falling like crazy.

Thanks for the welcome. I think it is under-graded. It has been in that slab for many years. I'm going to take my microscope and look at it much closer to inspect for hairlines and any other signs it may have ever been cleaned. It was graded cleanly sans any details.
It is nice enough and priced below its grade enough that I am thinking about buying it anyhow, market falling or otherwise.
I had difficulties uploading the photos and once the "optimizer" finished with my tiny 4MB pic, the smallest size any of my cameras take, there wasn't much left after being reduced to less than 80K. I have no idea how pix are uploaded here with low effort and well, but, some nice pix seem to get uploaded.

to the Family! The Optimizer also allows for size and quality adjustment. As long as the result is under 300kb then you're good. I take most pics with my phone and after cropping end up being anywhere from 1-2Mb. I upload it in the Optimizer, then change the quality and/or size settings, click "Apply Changes" and see what happens. Usually, I can get it to just below 300kb with tweaking. Hope this helps!

to the CCF ! About two weeks ago, we didn't get cold icy rain. In fact, we didn't get any rain at all. Instead, what we got in Sydney was a sunny day, all 117 deg. F. of it. A record.   My coins were starting to melt. |

Thanks again.
Am I missing the 'reply to' or 'quote reply' type function?
I can't say I've ever had to contend with the optimizer type interface merely to upload and share pix ever on the net. It was tedious, cumbersome and burdensome with my finally accepting whatever it wanted to do.
At the risk of having it pointed out there are people truly suffering on this planet from serious problems, I don't want to complain since somebody may direct me to go to Sydney or even hotter places.
117 degrees huh? That is as bewildering as the predicted lows here for the next few days. Much lower than some of the coldest I recall including getting snowed on riding over Mont Eagle on the way to Flagler Beach to do Daytona Speed Week after the cars were done and right before Spring Break. Set up camp in frozen sleet, many races were canceled that week, and the beaches were all but deserted.
It wasn't this cold and would have been 4 days earlier in 1989.
