More Eyecandy! This Time a Proof Seated Dime with Photography by BluCC Photos

WTCG

Here's another gem that I had the privilege to have blu62vette photography earlier this month. Enjoy:



Feel free to post a complementing coin and comments welcome.

Maybe it is my monitor but the picture looks very dark. It is difficult to
get an idea of what the coin really looks like. For example one cannot
even see the dentils all the way around the coin on the obv.

Otherwise I am curious what is going on with Liberty's upper legs?
Must just be the pic because they look like dents into that area.

Pretty coin though. It is just hard to get a solid read on it.

I'm with FC, whats the marks on the knees? Are those dents or scratches???

The marks on the legs do look like damage. I think the darkness of the fields stems from the fact they are probably mirror-like, right?

Either way, that is one beautiful proof dime!

Looks like a double amputee staple scratch

Do i see finger prints above miss lib's head ?

Would love to see that one in hand....looks amazing from what I can see in the image

i now have a chance to view it in a different monitor and the pics look
much better. What i am seeing now though is friction on liberty on
the higher portrait areas? Especially the head?

Naturally take all these opinions with a grain of salt. It is a pic after
all and PCGS likes it as a 65. It just seems liberty's face has a tiny
scratch and a small dent right below that to the right... making me
think it is light friction mixed in with the issues above.

Either way i would love to own that coin. Proofs are just so cool.

Sweet looking cameo on that baby.

Very nice! I can't imagine the marks on the legs are anything or the coin wouldn't have received the grade it did. Probably a tough one to photograph. I'd like to hear Todd's comments about it.

That thumbprint over the lower reverse would be grave cause for concern to me.

fc

just wondering... since your other post shows a coin with a cac sticker..
it makes me think that this one did not get it? I am just thinking i
would have sent this coin in also if i sent the other in.

making an assumption here but i feel it may be a likely guess?

I didnt spend as much time looking at it as I did trying to get the photo to look decent. The photos are taken straight on, at an angle a lot more color comes out. Still this is more the look of the coin. I never noticed anything that distracted on the leg.
