I have had a real hard time trying to get a good picture of gold coins.
This is the best of over 30 shots I took.

Please feel free to grade and or comment on my CCF auction win.

I won this way back in May I think.

I agree with an EF-45 details grade. It's pretty solid for that grade IMO. There are a lot of contact marks and the fine hairline scratches suggest it has been cleaned. The photos may be exaggerating the severity of the scratches. The color looks OK. The 1882-S is a common date and in circulated grades the value tracks closely with the gold bullion price. I'd call this an acceptable example. The photos are just fine.

I think there is too much wear on the hair above the coronet and bun, also on the curl running down the neck to grade EF. I'm going to say VF-30.
Rest in Peace
