It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • Kind of dark in the scan. Are the colors more alive in person?

    It's interesting toning. I'm indifferent to it. Does it have FBLs?

    Opinions?

    dark, unattractive toning and heavily bag marked obverse with friction on the high points. MS60 and due to the dark area at the center of the bell lines it's hard to give an assessment of them. not that it really matters given the obverse detractions.

    tell me something, were you afraid to leave the shop empty handed or what? pass and stow-----pass on the coin and stow the money back in your pocket. JMHO of course.

    Are those different backgrounds, or are you "tweaking" your pics Marty? image

    Keets you hit the nail on the head, when you go into a coin shop you have to buy something! It's not like a show where you can sneak away. This dealer has been around forever and I just can't leave empty handed.

    Dan, not different backrounds, different lights, the reverse was show with a reveal bulb, the obverse was with florescent (the toning shows up better). That's why the backround is darker.

    hey marty

    at my local hang-out i have a spot in the drawer right under the cash register. sometimes it's crowded!! i just got my "layaway" cleared out last week when i brought home a 1956 T1 proof set and some other odds and ends. he's closed Sunday through Tuesday and i'm off till Friday. with an auction he went to on Saturday and a show Sunday there is bound to be more stuff to start another stash.

    but back to the coin at hand. did that talk to you or what?
