numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 06/18/2019 9:55 pm It's weird, and I think I need to change my setup because when I photograph coins head on, they look a little dull and lifeless. At an angle, the luster lights up. This is the coin at a slight angle which shows full luster. Edited by numismatic student 06/18/2019 9:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coin-Flipper Pillar of the Community Canada 605 Posts	Posted 06/18/2019 10:09 pm Great looking coin! Interesting rim. Dont have much experience but looks slightly off-centre? MS64 with the rest. Superb detail even as a soft strike! Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 06/18/2019 11:28 pm looks to me like the right obverse rim is weakly struck. don't know enough about coins struck out of collar to know what you are referring to. would you elaborate? thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 06/18/2019 11:39 pm @ns the top right obverse rim, and bottom left are struck with the same weakness. I think the collar that holds the coin in place may have deployed late striking it a hair off center. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/19/2019 08:15 am I think GrapeCollects is correct about the collar being slightly off . BTW I know you took that slant photo to show some luster on the coin but please reframe from doing it again . Your straight head on photos look 100 times better . Report this Post to the Staff
