I try hard to take it slow when starting a new series, especially in MS. Work with the cheaper ones till I get comfortable with my grading eye. Then I just blow all that out the window and get involved in auctions that may be over my head. This one jumps $10 a grade. I don't think I over paid but I'm not sure of the grade. There is nothing on the forehead. Must be a two slight raised spots showing shadows. The tick by the eye is minimal. Thoughts?     Edited by captainkurt 02/11/2022 12:13 am

Too much glare, not enough solid surface detail showing in these pics.

Even with that bright glare, I can throw out a grade estimate of at least MS-66ish.

Don't know why that cheek mark looks this bad in the photo. I see two small spots in the lister with the loop but not damage.

I had it at ms64 with a shot at 65. In hand it does look 65. These photos really bring out every little hairline! Bought it for 62 money so I am over the moon! Thanx guys!

captainkurt, Do you have a filter over your light source? Not rotated enough for a premium http://rotateddies.com/John1

Filter, ah yes! I'll work on that next. I have been bouncing around the house trying different light sources, times of day, and trying them here. I think this light is ok but I'll try and ad some filtering now. Thanx!
