Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 10:48 am I'd say AU-55, either overdipped or poor lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 11:04 am You definitely go after a lot of material! And, a lot of it is very nice. You might want to try honing your photographic skills a bit (please don't take that the wrong way). It would help with evaluating such coins. The first thing I notice is that most of the pictures are just slightly out of focus. Lighting and proper white balance would really help. There's a thread on the NGC forum that does a fantastic job of how to set up proper lighting. There's a lot that goes into getting the right coin photos (like aperture, lighting, good lens, post-processing, reflective lighting for proof surfaces, etc.). Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 1:52 pm This was a seller I had never dealt with before and had these seven Morgan dollars and a 1903-O which looked gem and I narrowly missed out on. I had bid $585. But this seller tried to get me to pay for the coins outside of the auction site which made me suspicious. Eventually he wouldn't close the deal on the site and cancelled all the transactions. I guess I'll never get to see what they look like in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 3:01 pm Yeah, I agree with Zurie, I wouldn't take a chance with such photos. Sorry, for assuming they were yours. Report this Post to the Staff
