1917-D Buffalo....GTG.....Improved Photography Skills....Grade Revealed

Crazy4Coins · July 21, 2012 11:19AM

I've been working on my photography skills today. Compared to my previous pics, these seem to be a big improvement.

Guess the grade........and thoughts on the pics welcome as well. Still learning the Nikon, so pointers appreciated.

Oops....Guess I forgot to reveal the current grade. Will probably keep the coin in the OGH for a while. Will eventually send it to CAC for a bean. Thanks for your opinions.

edited to add pics

MS65, your photography skills are excellent.

worthy of a 66 to me...luster subdued might hold it to 65
those 67 n above glow with a sheen
the luster light is a lil dark i'd think

ok
awesome buffalo here
at these levels of eye appeal...grades are kinda second issue

More light closer to the coin, fix white balance. Looks nice! 65 from me, too.

stealer · July 21, 2012 11:39AM

66

Easy a 66..the only thing I think that might hold it back to a 65 would be the strike. Overall very clean coin I like it.

Great image of a nice Buff! I think it's in the 65 range, it's so hard to grade from images no matter how good they are. Luster rules the roost when grading these Buffs, trust me.... VERY nice Buff.....Joe

Added pics that show luster a little better. Old way of shooting pics seem to do a better job of capturing the luster.

<<Buffs, trust me.... VERY nice Buff.....Joe>>

When da Dog says it's nice, that's all you need to know!

I think Joe has it about right -- your strike is 65 quality but luster is hard to account for from this image. I' ve had a tough time finding a nice example of this date for my collection. Looks like you did well and your photos are improving. Thanks for posting.

MS65, and nice images! I just got a real camera yesterday, and I'm still way behind to getting mt shots to look that good. Oh wait one day, I guess I'm just being hard on myself a little to early.

66 easy!

BlackDiamond · July 21, 2012 1:01PM

Very nice. My guess on the grade is 64.

Nice Buff!! I'm with the ms66 crowd. Mel

<< <i>So which set of photos shows the color more realistically, the luster more realistically? >>

I'd actually say it is somewhere in between. The first photo is shooting the coin straight on. The second(previous) photo is with the coin slightly tilted.

One of the nicest 1917-d buffs I have ever seen -- an early die state coin that could stand up to any 1917-P
easy ms66
great!

icsoccer · July 24, 2012 10:41PM

64+

39Special · July 25, 2012 2:59AM

Super coin, I'd say MS65. Love the light iridescent toning.

Crazy4Coins · July 25, 2012 11:00AM

I'll guess MS66, but then again....I'm am a little biased.

buffnut · July 25, 2012 11:33AM

Undergraded at 65 IMHO.
