Yorkish Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 12/27/2021 2:32 pm Good afternoon! I found this one CRH, looked almost too good to be true so I figured I would throw it out here and see what you all think. Looks like MS67 to me but I await your judgements. The coin is very very shiny, so I am having the same issues that I have with getting photos of Proof coins. I hope the quality is enough to get a vague idea. Edit: New pictures added below old pictures for reference/(marginally) better quality. Edited by Yorkish 12/27/2021 9:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Yorkish Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 12/27/2021 5:39 pm Sure thing! It is 100% not a plated quarter, but I will gladly put up a picture of the edge anyway. I hope this is sufficient, I have gone back to using my phone to take pictures for grading since it takes far better photos than my coin scope. Report this Post to the Staff

KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 7:28 pm Far too much light to grade accurately. As someone new to coin photography, think of it this way...does the coin show a detailed representation of how the coin looks in hand? If not, keep trying till you figure out how to capture that. At least that's what I came to realize I had to do. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7036 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 10:05 pm Keeper for sure, I'm wondering about the spot in front of his eye....@ MS-65/66 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Yorkish Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 10:11 pm Thanks! The more I look at it, the more small scratches/spots I see so that's better than the grade I gave it a few minutes ago lol I dropped my estimates to ms64. Report this Post to the Staff
