Mkirch Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 7:20 pm I'm calling this one a Large 5, Stems on Wreath variety. Do you folks agree? What's your thinking on grade? Thanks in advance for your opinions. Kirch. P.S. Photos from new digital microscope. Still learning the lighting. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 8:19 pm Agree with VF-30, and also agree that it's a large 5 with stems. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 04:49 am Is the color true? Is the background supposed to be white? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Mkirch Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 5:15 pm Thanks everyone. John1 - Color is off. Still working on color with the scope. Correct, the background should be white. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36770 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 1:30 pm A very nice looking VF-30 with no issues. Report this Post to the Staff
johnjkedel Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 4:06 pm VF25 by me - but I'm not crazy about the obverse rim. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 4:19 pm I'd still like to see some different pics. The colors just don't look natural. Report this Post to the Staff
Mkirch Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 8:22 pm Coinfrog - I agree. The color in the pic does not match the coin in hand. That was one of the earliest pics I took with the new digital scope. I think I've got the lighting & color down better now. I'll try to take some new ones tomorrow night.

Mkirch Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/31/2022 7:42 pm Coinfrog, Here are new pics not using the scope's built in light. Using the indirect lamps on the sides of the stage base. Color is truer. Thanks. Kirch Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/31/2022 8:24 pm Much more attractive images. But there still seems to be a lack of depth in these surfaces - I don't believe it's an original coin.. Edited by Coinfrog 01/31/2022 8:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mkirch Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 02/02/2022 8:04 pm Coinfrog, Well, that's concerning. Do you mean counterfeit, modified, something else? Thanks again for your insights. Kirch Report this Post to the Staff
