I can't quite make out the indivual silver atoms on this half dollar

Here's a SCAN of a 1839-O Half Dollar

Yet, I cannot see each silver atom....

    Great photo. Makes it so much easier to figure the coin. Yes, really.

    you're right, Tom. The silver atoms are not focused in at all but,
    I did notice a few Streptococcus bacteria on the bottom edge of the earlobe.

    For a minute when I read this thread title I thought pcgs had come up with a new grading category for half dollars.

    Okay, I'm back now.... I had to go get on the neighbor's front lawn and look through my window at my monitor in order to visualize the coin.

    It is worse than being on the front row at the movie theater.

    I think I am getting a headache....
    And I ain't lying this time.

    I hate those fuzzy little pictures--am I wrong or is there some nice die clashing on the obverse?
