Looking for opinions and comments positive or negetive,the best you can from the bad scans. I have been scanning this coin all mourning and this seems the best I can get.

any wheat lines visible?

Vet

There are traces of lines left here and there mostly at the top. The date and mint mark are quite clear not like the scan.

Looks like a good coin to me; original, not cleaned or messed with. Should slab @ pcgs, probably G4 or 6

This brings up the question being origanal if it were going to be sold could you really expect to get any more for it slabbed then you could raw.I saw one at the coin shop in fine maybe VF they wanted $315.raw if you were to pay to have it slabbed with S&H it would run $40. Net $275. way not sell it raw?

If you're selling it directly to a dealer who is sure of their ability to authenticate, it might not matter much. If you're planning on selling it to anyone else, yes, I'd expect buyers would be willing to lay down more money to be sure they weren't getting a fake. In that sense, the cost of authentication can be seen as the cost of an "insurance policy."

Vet

Thanks for all your input. I don't have any plans on selling it and Im quite sure its authentic. I have been collecting for awhile, but having things certified is all new to me, my first submissions to PCGS was back in July,did alright with that all Morgans 81cc ms64 93s f15 the other three are still out, they went to ANACS

slabing this coin is an utter & total waste of YOUR hard-earned $$$. your just lining the pockets of ngc/pcgs/whoever.

KEEP your $$$ for a future COIN purchase, or maybe take the kids out for an ice-cream.

Try scanning it with something dark behind the coin to reduce the contrast. Scan at a higher DPI as well. Your scan barely has any detail, impossible to tell much of anything from a dark disc.

scan the coin again. Seperate OBv and REV. Make them single pictures. Combining front and back on one pic makes the image too small. Up the dpi too.

also, make sure the coin is in the center of the scanner. agree w/ others re: G6 most likely by your description. imho, entombment is not necessary for this free bird.

They are separate pictures. They just butt up against one another because of the way the BBcode was added to the post.

Ok you guys this scanner thing is still in the learning process as is setting up web space and computers in general. So how else can I add the url to my post without using the picture frame and copy and paste. Any advise on how to get better scans with what I have appreciated.I know don't be so damm cheep and buy a digital cammera. As for buying the kids icecream there old enough to buy there own, make that gradkids x4.

Vet

Hear are some better pics I hope
