I have this coin in my hand, the Reverse is very stunning with very nice luster. It is one of those coins that sparkles as it is being rotated...
This coin IMO is 100% NT found in a Mint Set...

It is a work of art, that agrueably took many many years to aquire such color, in that cardboard holder....

For your viewing pleasure:

    Stunning for sure! Nicest color I have ever seen on a 53-D. Nice coin Pharmer and nice pics Lucy.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    In the orginal thread where this coin 1st popped up, the shades of Pink were called into question...
    The Pinks are indeed on this coin, and they look very natural to me, but what I discovered in imaging this one was some
    trememdous shades of a wonderful Orange.... Luster is very strong making this one a sparkling jewel as it is being rotated and viewed..

    Lucy's coins always rock.....almost as well as her cars and tunes. I didnt see the first thread, but not surprised its NT to me all the way.
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
  • ....The reverse is indeed spectacular ; the obv. has too many marks in the prime focal area for my taste ...

    I doubt anyone might think it on the thresehold of 66 .

    A prime example of a coin that 10 years ago would never have gotten higher then MS64 .

    I believe Lucy : your photo skills are unmatched !

    Great image!!! I recall commenting on this coin. Never thought AT, if I remember correctly I thought a lot of the pink in the original images was from using a reveal bulb. I understand the pink is there.... but still feel all his images have even more of a pink hue from whatever imaging technique. The Morgans, etc. Looking at the slabs..... I see a pink hue on some that have been posted to help support my thinking.

    This picture looks natural to me, and if you endorse it , that's pretty strong.

    I went back and looked at the original post, and the original pictures. I can see how some would question the look of the coin. Hopefully Pharmer doesn't mind a comment on his pics - maybe some different lighting, tone done the saturation, or something. Those pics aren't quite believable.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
  • gorgeous frankie!
  • tone done the saturation, or something. Those pics aren't quite believable.

    yes ; friendly advice indeed -

    tone down the saturation as those pic's are just not quite believable .
  • Awesome Frankie - pharmer

    if that is aT- and they did not slab it- then send it to Braddick- he can get anything slabbed in any color also.

    Thats 100% real mint set color.
  • Nice job lucy bop. Pharmer you may just clear your name if Lucy gets her mitts (paws?) on smore.

    But I still have reservations about that 54 Superlard bought from you a couple years back.

    Rock-on Lucy!!

    With Lucy's picture's I will claim mea culpa and say I was wrong. From her pictures this coin appears NT.
  • pharmerpharmer Posts: 8,355
    Where's the beautiful greens and blues in pharmer's images? Where's the bright lustrous orange? It's got a gorgeous rainbow of colors! What's he trying to pull by not showing that? Let's get to the bottom of it!

    I'm guilty of that one but at least they were questions not statements. I'm still learning about lighting.

    I guess I'll have to get some special lights and try to make my slabs look pink image

  • pharmerpharmer Posts: 8,355
    You showed up at the time of the purge, you're an alt. If you had any guts you'd say who you were before. And by the way zoins, unless you're editing right now, that was the first post you've ever made without an edit image

    That's faulty reasoning and incorrect. Do you think all coincidence is proof of causality?
  • pharmerpharmer Posts: 8,355
    Hey Ken, the talent lies in hiding the greens, blues and oranges. Especially the greens, just can't get them to show with reveal 50w spots. And that's the color I look for in coins. Oh well. So my coins look nicer in person (and in Lucy's images) than in my images. I'll bear up somehow. image

    Pink is a naturally occurring color in mint sets, especially on the dimes, quarters and halves. I chuckle when I see roosie collectors drool over the pink and blue dimes (I like them too) and yet don't think this can happen to a halve. Here is an entire pink halve, slabbed and not photo enhanced in anyway.

    Why not its an attractive coin with attractive photos. This coin was thought to be AT by many before Lucy imaged it. It can be very difficult to tell AT vs NT from images. This thread proves it. Why post at all. Go complain about a giveaway.
