How big? Just what do folks consider too big, anyway?

JZrarities

Big enough for me to make a Wallpaper.

(I love that color)

Maybe 800 to 1200 pixels wide...

BECOKA

I'd prefer 4k x 4k.

JZrarities

BECOKA,

You're next.

I love dirty old colorful gold

adamlaneus

First. an animation...

adamlaneus

Also, it's round. So, i've got 800x800

adamlaneus

I also have 1200 x 1200

JZrarities

1200 reverse please.

Stunner.

adamlaneus

And then, there's the date closeup.

BECOKA

Glad you decided to use such a prominent coin for your avatar.

adamlaneus

Unfortunately, as you can see, the reverse of the coin is hideously ugly compared with the front.

A shame, really. Could have been such a nice overall coin.

This coin has lots of fire. I have not seen many like it (none, one maybe and I didn't know it). I seek them out even more so now than before. But there are so many different attractive skins an old coin can get.

This one was graded 58 by NGC! As you can see, it is really far too beaten up for that grade. It's in a PCGS 53 holder where it belongs!

Agreed on the grade, that tiara is way too worn down for the 55/58 grade. NGC tends to add a point for originality and to me that hurts the market on these. That said it looks like auction prices are showing just that. PCGS AU50/53 coins are starting to bring NGC AU55/58 prices.

Bigger pics, please!
Seriously, that is a beautiful coin with great color, Adam.

Here's another picture where I emphasized the fiery luster around the date area. It is also lit in such a way that the hits are not nearly as apparent.

This is not juicing with photoshop; this is careful placement of lighting.

Unfortunately, I missed the focus a little bit too.

adamlaneus

Next time this coin is out of the SDB, i'll have a film camera ready. I'll carefully shoot a roll or three of slide film and then scan it. That will give me 4k by 4k pictures of this coin. Suitable for enlarging!
