Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 6:31 pm The problems here are the sharpness and lighting. Pics are soft. Play around with the Image Optimizer. Edited by Coinfrog 05/06/2017 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 7:08 pm Ok.. thank you everyone for the very helpful information.. I am still trying to figure out why my scope camera is causing blurring on one side of the image.. when I look through the eye pieces its very crisp and sharp but for some reason the camera only wants to focus either left side of image or right side of image but never both together.. please provide feedback on these images that I enhanced from the previous snapshots .. thanks again.. I truly appreciate all tips .. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 05/07/2017 02:03 am This is a very nice coin and I would also say 65. I am nitpicking at this point, but the main reason I think it doesn't go to 66 or 67 for me, is the scratch in the hair that is fairly noticeable. I don't see anything more than some uneven toning at the high points of the coin: the braid, the buffalo's front and hind legs, that speak to eye appeal. Just my opinion. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
