Indian Half eagle pics....help me grade them?

These are the fist pics of one of four Indian Half Eagles. I haven't had the time to really play around with the new camera yet and I probably will not until tomorrow. I'm sure I can do better with some experimenting with lighting and such, but this should do for now I suppose. Pics were taken with a Canon A70.



Suggestions on lighting and such are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The picture is all pixilated on my end. Are these coins uncirculated or close to it? If so I can usually tell if it's AU or MS by the reverse fields. Try to take pictures that show how the coin actually looks and try different lighting. mike image

    I think you may not have clicked on the pics.......they will open to MUCH larger.

    Pics are too tiny too see, and when I click to enlarge all I get is the dreaded red X.

    I can only see the first pic. The second one takes a million years to download, which I won't wait for.

    I vote no higher than MS-65.

    Yes, I did enlarge then but the pictures is all funny looking on my end. I think Jason narrowed down the value a little "no higher than MS-65" so it could be worth anywhere from from a $100 to $10,000image. I'll keep an eye out for more pictures. mike image

    The beauty of high speed cable is the pics load in about 3 seconds. I'd vote ms65, I only see a few nicks/scratches on both sides, nice coin, however, I'm not qualified to grade. AND YES THEY are BIG.
    Its a foul ball by a fair margin.

    What I meant was it has the possibility of being MS-65, but don't be surprised if PCGS grades it at MS-64.

    That ding is quite significant. You know which one I am talking about, too. image

    Hard to judge I can't look at the whole coin at once.

    meta, I still can't see the pictures on my end- could you put the picture of in this thread? Don't get your hopes up on a high grade coin as these are expensive coins in 64-65. mike
