First time taking pictures of coins, let me know if you need better photos. What do you think this would grade? I'm open to any advice on taking better pics of coins, I only have my phone camera.   You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

Guessing 64 but need better photos to make sure the surfaces are OK.

this is a strong strike for an 84(O) which is typically soft to average. too much light in the photos which is not allowing a good assessment of luster. there are a number of marks, scuffs and surface irregularities that can be seen. with these photos I cant get it past MS63

I think the overexposure is hiding something. I say MS62.

There is some dings on the rim. Hopefully this picture is a little better.  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

Based on the second set of photos, I'm thinking MS-62 might be right. Luster seems rather subdued and more marks are apparent.

take photos in natural indirect light. all of the photos are indicating a possible cleaning/dip maybe even a light polish. MS62/63 possibly details designation

Wow you guys are good! In hand it is apparent the luster is subdued as well. It has been dipped (not by me). I'm hoping it wouldn't get details grade.

Very rare that a TPG will details a coin for being dipped. Usually it just knocks a point or two off the grade. So instead of 63 it would get 61 or 62. |
