Pics are way too blurry to evaluate. Trust you did not make your decision based on these!  |

You expect us to grade this coin based on these photos ?  |

Let me get this straight - you paid low MS money for this based on these pics? I'd sure like to hear your reasoning.  |

Looks better than low mint state to me. |

You can't see ANY surface details, and there is no suggestion of ANY hair definition above the forehead, and you pay MS money? I really don't understand.
I hope others will chime in. I have always given NS credit for sticking his chin out, but this seems merrily insane.

Hoping those white flecks in the pictures aren't damage to the coin......

Good luck. I can't even tell if it's real. My eye is drawn to how badly disfigured the obverse letters appear. OF and the last A for example. Then there's the nose. I wonder if it's been badly photoshopped or something. With your two posts ending in emojis I think you might be yanking our chain.

MS, you have done well with buying raw coins from poor photos. I have been impressed with some of your finds, but it appears that you are taking buying coins from poor photos to another level. Most of the coins that you recently posted are simply not gradable from the seller's photos. Maybe some day you can write a book, "How I made a Million Dollars buying coins on ebay from poor photos", or, "How I lost thousands buying coins on ebay". Wish you the best on your new purchases. |

I agree with Coinfrog on this one. You can't see any hair definition on the forehead. You think this is above low MS and I will guess it is not even MS.I would not have paid low AU for this coin based on the images.

Of all the bizarre stuff NS has bought from seller's pics over the years, this has to be the wildest of stabs. God bless your good intentions, sir!

Hmmmm, not so sure on this one. There seems to be a scratch from the top lip to the ear and a circular scratch across the neck to the ribbon, along with some rub lines between the nose and AMERICA. The reverse has a small but deep gouge around 3:00 and a possible scratch below the bow. If it's UNC, it's likely 61-62.
