1972 DDO Nicely Toned

KurtS, it's a Die #1. In fact, I don't believe PCGS has code identifier (in this case 2949) for anything but a die 1.

I had a very difficult time taking the pictures and getting the color accurate. Playing with every angle and lighting possible that's the best I could do without getting a huge glare interfering.

The reverse, even though the picture appears to be more clear and closer.. is less flattering than in real life. There's nice color in the fields that you can't see in the picture.

Unfortunately all I have is my wife's digicam and I'm not much of a photographer.

It's OK, Kurt. I figured as much. It's actually good unbiased feedback for what others (who don't know me) might think. Any suggestions for revision?

I'm going to see if I can get better pictures of the obverse.

desert, I'm going to find someone with a scanner and hopefully it will be better. There really is VERY little "brown" to speak of. What little brown there is is very light and even. It's mostly red mixed with a nice pattern of purple.

It's an impossible task for me to take a picture that is close enough (and) clear enough (and) accurately shows the color (and) doesn't have darn glare reflecting off the slab. The close-up of the Obverse was the best I could do to combine all these things. It's kind of a "meh" picture but it does give you a good idea of how it looks in hand.

I'm praying scans work better.
