Seller's blurry images


Any hope the coin is Uncirculated? I know there is a rim nick.

    Could be, there are plenty out there. Mind if we ask how much you wagered on it?

    Most of them are unc and I think there’s a pretty good chance yours is too.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    If you shrink the image by about 33% it doesn’t look as blurry and appears to be MS

    LOL. That's AMAZING.

    Once you know where the "X" is, you can see the faint outline on the original image. AMAZING.

    How does the seller not expect to get returns with that deception?

    The coin arrived today. I wasn't thrilled with the toning so I dipped it. :o

    Here's the result:


    I have a difficult time capturing lustre in an image. The coin has quite a bit of lustre.

    The weak strike is pretty indicative of these issues. Looks like an MS 63 ish coin.

    All's well, that ends well. Nice coin!

    Glad you dipped it and made her pretty again, just as all silver coins should be. Congrats!
