like it? how about the photography?

My opinion is that the toning is too dark, broken and blotchy, and detracts from the eye appeal of the coin.

Attractiveness is in the eyes of the beholder. If you find it attractive and affordable then you should buy it.

It's already mine, i love it i was just testing my photograhpy skills and thought i'd ask about this coin.

I think it is cool -

Photography, better than 80% of seen on eBay

Light source is showing a reflection on the slab
Cropping can get rid of extra space sround the coin
Most people photograph up and down rather than 30 degree rotation
Missed alittle at top and bottom

Having said that, it is better than I can do, but not like ANACONDA or Teletrade

I like it a lot. Looks like with the luster it would come alive. I think making the image a bit smaller (by cropping out the holder) and more in focus would work wonders.

Bikerdude:

You're too close to the coin to get a good focus. I've found that flourescent light really brings out the colors on toned coins. Go to where there's a good source of flourescent light - kitchen or garage, and take the picture from about a foot to a foot and a half from you. Make sure you have good focus and that your camera is set to take the sharpest image possible. Move the coin around a bit until you get the look you like on the coin. After you've taken your picture, you can usually enlarge it pretty significantly as long as you took a good high definition pic.

Let us know how it turns out!

Please try some more pictures. It is out of focus.

I like the obv. I like the periph tone on the rev. If it looked the same on both sides I would like it more because it would be well balanced and matched. I wouldn't want the rev any darker on a DMPL. It probably isn't that dark in real life and looks nice. The fingerprints around the eagle I find slightly distracting.

MS64? What brand slab?

<< <i>MS64? What brand slab? >>

MS-62 DMPL ANACS (is that bad that it's an ANACS?)

Well it looked like a 64 in the original 2 pictures.
