This is a tricky one .Looks MS but no luster . Original no problem coin . Very good eye appeal . So why am I having a hard time grading this one ? I have to give it a 65 but AU-63 would not surprise .

It doesn't have great luster, but it is there. I'm still struggling with my setup. I think I get great definition, but not great color. Here is another with a different lighting technique (lamps closer to the coin and different diffuser - coffee filters). I also just ordered a light ring to see if that helps.

T-BOP...I think you're grading fine!...My 58 was due to the fact, I think there is circ. rub below the toning,which is also hiding the luster. easy slider and maybe higher...IMHO

Bottom line, it just doesn't look fresh and new.
