  1. A couple of points that I see - 

    with your microscope it looks like you are trying to angle the coin to get the highlights you are trying to see. I believe the doubling you wish was there is a

    lighting anomaly.

    Microscopes have specific uses and if used properly can show what you need, that being said, they have a LOT of drawbacks.

    I still use my phone for most of my coin photography

    on full manual mode.

    yes they suck lol. guess ill submit the picture to a couple of websites and see if they find out what it is. I did find this dpm on the 1949 D franklin on the website you mentioned, I think.

     

     

     

     The Franklin 49 D is a totaling different look than your as its what is called a shifted left ( D/D West) variety.

    Yours if is a true shifted down (D/D South) you can see the differences from your coin hence why everyone is not convinced.

    good luck

    imho

  2. I think there needs to be  more consistent correlation between straight graded Coins and Ones that are designated CAMEO

    I find a discrepancy's in quite a few of my coins as compare to the coins of set of the 1883 #1 set / Mine being the #2 set 

    Please review and inform 

    1883 Proof Set #2 is mine / Case and point is the MY CAMEO trade dollar point structure against its straight grade coin

    in Set #1 1883 Proof.

    Please inspect and inform of your findings.

    Thanks

    ( If this is not in the right forum please transfer to the proper one - thanks )  

     

  3. Yeah that's a XF coin

    I found the seller, He has everything stated as rare and UNC :/

    He has a return policy but ebay will return it for you.

    Click the button to the right of your purchased page

    RETURN and it will ask you why - you click  "Not as described" and Ebay will automatically

    accept.  You will not have to pay for return shipping either as Ebay will have a label for you to print

    for the return package. Try to find the original 2x2 to put it back into 

    Sorry this happened but you need to learn a little more about grading 

    take care Mike

    Also, at some point you may need to remove these from the flips/holders they're in to get better pictures or move to a new flip/holder.  It's safe to gently slide them out onto a hard, dust free, surface with nothing present to scratch or abrade the coin.  Nothing like rough fabric.  When handling always hold on the edges with your middle finger & thumb opposite each other.

    Actually that's a really good point.

    Looks to be the era of PVC flips - bad for coins as we all know
