patientshark New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 10/28/2022 10:32 pm I was searching my 5 sealed pouch Mint sets for that perfect 1981 D Penny. I only had one (Denver U.S. Mint Souvenir Set) and four (Denver & Philadelphia U.S. Mint white envelope sets) I found four worth posting for grade help! I will post the Obverse RD rainbow toner penny and work on those image specifications tomorrow! Thanks C/C Retired these last 10 years collecting coins, but I meant to type "Mint" set not "Proof" always welcome help, even if it does not pertain to the question asked about grade help.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 09:27 am avoid overhead lighting. best photos are indirect light or a window sill on a cloudy day. black background is best so that any color does not reflect back onto the coin and skew the color the tick in the shoulder and neck will keep the coin out of the 67 range. the reverse seems to be weakly struck but glare from the lighting may be part of it. for modern LMC's TPG's are looking for fields free of discoloration with consistent color. for a 67 grade a near perfect coin is required and a cherry tonal coloration to them helps to push it over the line from a 66. also a full strike is almost always a must on both sides. every little mark is counted. value wise for LMC's they really need to be in the elusive 67 grade i think your coin would grade MS65RD maybe a + but I think it would not cross over to 66 i look forward to your other posts. adjust photos accordingly would help Edited by panzaldi 10/29/2022 09:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
patientshark New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 10:39 am Grade help was awesome and photo instructional help is perfect for this rookie too! I gave up cellular devices 4 years ago, I am using a LOGI plug in camera for my PC. I will perfect my photos skills very soon; with your advice (thank you!) I have collected for ten years and only recently got online to share my coins. Appreciate all sagely advice from C/C. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 10/30/2022 12:24 pm need to change the color. Badthad made me take a second look at it. color looks RB rather than RD and due to the reverse and the key area hits MS64RB sounds better for this coin Edited by panzaldi 10/31/2022 07:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/30/2022 4:35 pm Real nice obverse tone . BadThad calls it a 65 but because I'm a hardliner I'm giving it MS-64RB due to the 2 obverse hits . Once again nice coin . Report this Post to the Staff
