It could just be the photos (and I hope it is) but the details look mushy to me and the coins look almost... polished?

Surface reflectivity makes proofs difficult to photograph. I think they're all fine and would grade in the PR-66 or 67 range.

Looks like a nice brilliant proof set to me  From the photos, it looks like the Nickel is starting to tone and there might be some toning in LIBERTY on the Franklin, but the other coins all look good! I'm not seeing any black oxidation as is so often the case. Taking great photos of brilliant proofs is HARD. Axial lighting can take out the reflections, at the cost of losing the luster. |

I like them, and would definitely keep them. But Ben seems to have pits. George has brown smudge on his hair. Jefferson is looking good. Abe's reverse is looking spotty. But still in great condition. I have MANY 54's, my birth year. So I'm very picky. (:

There's an entire forum dedicated to coin photography right here at CCF. I'm a Luddite myself when it comes to coin photography and could stand to peruse some of the threads therein. |
