If it was cleaned, it still has VF details, but might only sell for F money due to the cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff

Calibrate your white balance and try using a white back ground for the coin. Size your final pics to about 800x600 or so to the get the file size to <100k. Lincoln Cent Lover!

eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 09:22 am Those are very sharp photos to assess a technical grade from. That's a very sharp coin, too, for a basically understruck series. I could give that a technical VF-30, easy. The problem is, the off-color in your photos. Still, I think one can make out the flat look to those surfaces, indicating that coin was pretty harshly-cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
