panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 08/24/2023 08:50 am these are pretty common in higher MS grades. this one is pretty nice with only a few small marks on the shoulder. MS66+ lighting still not the best as it looks like there are some hits on the jaw but its hard to tell. that would probably keep it out of the 67 box. so your first photos have too much glare and your new ones have too much shadowing going on Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/24/2023 09:03 am I'm at MS-66. Beauty, but pretty common in this grade as noted. Report this Post to the Staff

Enjoy the rest of the day. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 08/25/2023 09:17 am to get photos with less glare do not use any overhead or flash light. its a challenge finding an area that will not have reflective light. sometimes a cloudy day or subdued lighting is better. I've found on my iphone there is an option for portrait and I select natural light placing the coin on an interior table without any other lighting works most of the time.
