Here's a recent NEWP I wanted to show off and get your grade opinions on. It'll be going out to PCGS eventually, and I will update the thread when it gets back.

Thanks again to @FadeToBlack for the pictures!

    The coin appears to have a good strike without any obvious surface defects....the terminal tarnish is not attractive though... well, to me anyway. Cheers, RickO

    Looks like a dark photo of an MS65 coin with toning that is possibly very attractive in-hand. Some people will change their tune once they see a TrueView image of the same coin, so I'd suggest getting a TrueView when you send it in. Ricko will still not like it, as he is a fan of untoned silver coins. :)

    I wasn't insulting your picture, by the way. It just looks a little dark on my monitor and I happen to think that people take images a little too seriously when they judge coins on a computer screen. FWIW, it would look a lot worse if I photographed it.

    I like! MS63 is my guess.

    I love the coin the reverse greens and dark orange tell me a lot about originality. Great coin that I would not buy with grade in mind. I think its MS64 reg PCGS slab.

    Decent looking MS65 coin. Can't speak to the originality of the toning from those photos.

    Here's a cell phone shot showing the reverse toning.

    Why I always say cell phone shots are the best way to judge a coin! Lovely toning. Can you also shoot the front?

    Then remove a little of the glare and colors are very nice. I would buy your coin based on your own shot before I would buy it from the above or a trueview.

    I should have mentioned that these are cell phone shots that @FadeToBlack took - Not me. Here is the obverse,

    I am not a fan of the dark toning, but nice coin. I'm curious about the colors though, they look a little suspicious.

    Looked like a winner from the sellers pics, and it is!

    This one is going to PCGS in a group submission. I'll either update this thread with the grade when it's back or start a new one with the TrueView.
