GTG on these coins: NEW (HOPEFULLY BETTER) PICS of nickel

[yonico]

hi all,

 

here is the coin i picked up at a coin show in Melville, NY

 

I'M TRYING AGAIN. SEE IF THESE PICS WILL COME OUT BETTER.

in some pics i got more of the color and less deatil. these are all of the same coin:

Great pickups.

 

Nickel - MS63 Doubled Monticello

Penny - MS66RD DDO

[yonico]

Wow.. You're good.

You nailed the grade on the penny. It is ms66 in a pcgs OGH.

BUT, the main reason why I posted these 2 coins is to see who can guess the grade on the nickel. On this one, you're far FAR away from the actual grade - I know it's not your fault, my pics suck, it's a very hard coin to photograph, because of the special colors and the luster on it.

Though not a very expensive coin, it is very special, and actually has a population of 1.

I really wish I could get a better pic of this coin.

AU-50 or MS66,

AU-50 or MS66,

 

nope..

i'm gnna try taking pictures outside in daylight, maybe i'll get some better ones.

it's a lot better than AU50, even better than MS66 actually.

I actually agree with Noow on the penny being MS66RD DDO; however, I think that the nickel is a MS 65 and no better. I personally wouldn't have put that in a MS67 holder.

[noow]

I'll say 63 now, possible 64, but not higher.

Take the details from the 2nd to last pic, add the color from the 2 first pics, put them together and.. It still doesn't really look as good as in hand.

Very disappointed with the pics I took.

This coin is NGC MS67* (star)

It is 1939 reverse of 1940, NGC graded 409 of these, out of them 71 were graded MS67. out of the 409 graded, only one got the star designation - my MS67*.

I'm very happy with the grade. These pics do no justice to the coin.

It's very nice but MS 65 or 66 seems more reasonable for this nickel to me. I WOULD give it the star, though.
