villagekid Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 08:24 am My wife's birth year...good year! You might try natural sunlight for better representation. Do like what seems to be full steps on the reverse. One of these days in the future, I truly believe TPG's may be looking at memorial steps as a point of reference or target high point in grading (much like Jefferson nickles...just saying!) Anyhow, it appears to be an overall nice coin MS but what degree of scale is a guess IMHO...good luck with the coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Aintnosunshine New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 08:45 am Thanks for all the responses - so sunlight is the best light source for coin pictures ? Thanks for letting me know that as well. I understand how every light source has our eyes perceive color differently , so was trying to figure out which source / I will go outside and see what the true color toning is / Also thAnks for mentioning FS, I havnt been checking that on these one cent coins and you are probably on to something there.

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 12:41 am Seems MS-63 RD or better but can't really tell from these photos whether it warrants a higher grade. Report this Post to the Staff
