not overdone , no atomic afterglow
only at pixelbreak up one can see under the chin that it was photoshopped ; which is ironical since this was the area that needed the least retouching

That was a 10-minute effort to make a point in another thread, Ageka - the end result was supposed to be viewed at no more than 500px wide and for that size it would have been sufficient to deceive all but someone of your ability.

I'm capable of much better, and I'm not an expert by any stretch.

50cents, I'm over there, too, but this is the place where I feel my contributions are worthwhile. CU is just a reference source for my VAM endeavors, but Coin Community is my home.

That photoshop job is great. How do you do it?

That was my final conclusion XF because I cannot see the hairline too well . I will let you know the sanitized version of his appraisal

Last week we passed up a very nice MS63 because of the slide on the liberty side
That was a real drama because without the slide it would have gone MS66 like
But unfortunately we both immidiately agreed on MS63

I like that last one, and since I just placed a gold page in my Dansco7070 today I will be buying one of them soon

If you mean that unslabbed MS63
MS63 and MS64 of common years should be had for about 25% over gold value

might as well show my newest coin on here

Heh. The forum software dropped the "py" suffix and substituted a synonym for the word originally used.

50cents, it certainly looks like you have a pretty good idea yourself about taking nice pictures, and I cannot fault your choice of camera. Might I ask what you're using for a copystand? I'm in the market.

So first it substracted py then tranlated into stuff then added again py and got stuffpy which is a stuffpy translation of
the original word

Now I am really amazed ( tomorrow I do not have to work so I can stay up late and toke my American Heritage Dictionary of the English language (Houghton Mifflin co ) This is the only one I know which does not shy away from slang etc )

It gives as translation for the root word
1)a loosing throw of the dice ( perfectly acceptable word it says )
2)vulgar : ( the bathroom thing )
3)Vulgar slang ; nonsense
4)vulgar slang ; something worhtless
So the same word is totally acceptable with dice but vulgar in all other use

So the correct translation would have been worthless pictures

But what is even more amazing is that the word comes from a root that is the same in middle english and middle dutch

Well I guess the forum language module is married to Babelfish

here is another picture of the 1881-S I posted before

Edited to add type of camera JVC GC-QX3HD 3.3MP that I got from ebay for something like $32.00 shipped a couple of years ago. Its shutter speed is a little slow but in macro mode you can practically set the camera on the coin and get a clear picture
