hardiemp New Member Canada 14 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:14 pm Thanks to both of you, I'm rather new to this, at this level, and frankly the internet is like drinking from a fire hose when it comes to coin research! I tried loading higher quality pictures but it wouldn't let me. As for colour, I just bought a digital microscope, so I'm learning there too. I am not sure how to take an image that truly reflects the colour. As I am interested in opinions about grading, any suggestions there would be helpful as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:34 pm Full pics of both sides showing true color are critical to establishing a grade and value. Keep trying. Your images establish little more than that of a genuine, but likely flawed, coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 09:50 am Split grade - G obverse, F reverse, net VG details (scratched). Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5667 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 11:00 am I'd say VG-8. That's a pretty heavy scratch on the obverse, but given the overall grade, it might straight grade. Report this Post to the Staff
