GRADE REVEALED MS 63

I think my scuffed pcgs holder may have made it a bit difficult, but, I see most of you guessed it right on the money.

    seriously - you wanted a bigger pic, or were you kidding the other way as in, the pic is too big. I just bought a new lens for my digital camera, the original fileis over 1mb I compressed it to about 150k. I'm trying to learn how to take good coin pics - starting about 1 hour ago.

    The photos are nice! The holder could use some polishing though...

    I guess 63.

    The only problem with jumbo sized pics is every little nick and tick looks huge. As for the flyer I'll go 64 and the pics are great, which camera?

    Camea Canon D60 with a 105mm Sigma Macro Lens under GE Reveal light bulb. Original File Size multi MB- croppped to tighten the image. No enhancements or color mods, raised the shadows just a stitch to pop the detail of the date and wings and compensate for the bounced flash.

    The holder is a bit scratched some of the marks are due to the holder.

    Stay tuned another pic and a nother guess the grade coming out in a few minutes.

    PCGS probably went MS on that, MS62.

    I say AU58.

    I would say MS64 all day long. The little spots are not distracting to me, but think the small scratch on the reverse could have held it to 63. Personally, I LOVE IT image'tis one of my favorites of all coins.
    They are beautiful to me.( of course the 1856 is what compelled my desire to own the short set image)

    I'll say possible 61.

    PCGS Au-58. Looks like a 59.5 that could have 61'd

    I agree with AU58, nice coin with just the barest rub on the highpoints and noise in the fields
