It was out of the collar just enough to stretch it up some. It's fun to look at and to show. I've owned this coin a long time with many offers to buy it.

Henri Charriere Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) What enquiring minds want to know, aside from strike irregularities, is whether the gentleman from down South would make a purchase "sight-unseen" of any coin depicted on this thread, solely on the strength of the photos provided? I am sure the owner would be happy to attest to the fact that the edge of any coin chosen is pristine, on an accompanying signed affidavit. P.S. Anybody remember the time when Yours truly made the colossal gaffe of inquiring as to who it was who was responsible for placing a "diagnostic marker" on a coin? Yup, dems were the daze! P.P.S. Almost forgot! The gentleman, a distinguished member here, invited to make a guest appearance here to weigh in on the brouhaha which erupted at the time, "Wondercoin," won an award and was cited by Coin World recently in its listing of the 100 Most Influential People in Numismatics. Man, I love this place! Edited September 24, 2022 by Quintus Arrius Addition of "100." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FlyingAl Posted September 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) @numisport, I have considered sending it for a regrade but I'd need it to go 66CAM or 65DCAM to justify it, so it's probably going to stay in it's holder. It's a solid 65, but a 66 is probably pushing my luck.

Henri Charriere Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 @Lem E: First off, this is a superior coin in every aspect: grade, steps, mint mark--even surface condition, suggests this is about as good as it gets! MS-67 is my personal favorite grade. But this coin also inadvertently highlights a problem viewers have come to know intimately. Photos vs. in-hand inspection. The photography, arguably top-shelf--and I speak only for myself!--does not do the coin justice, step-wise. There are steps there--only because I know steps are supposed to be there, but from my vantage point, they are not clearly delineated. I have to trust the professional graders, and the OP, on this one. We have argued about the pros and cons of light sources on this Forum for a long time. Is photography a suitable substitute for in-hand, in-person inspection? Honestly, based on this example alone? Not by a long shot, IMHO. [Time to gas up the old jalopy. Again.] Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Sometimes the steps show well and sometimes not. Depends on what you are trying to highlight in the photos I suppose. Without concentrating solely on the steps, you may not get a good idea of how they really look. As good as any pics may be, there is never any substitute for an in hand inspection. A good look at the steps requires a loupe. Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
