Remember this recent thread?

I have this coin in my hand, the Reverse is very stunning with very nice luster. It is one of those coins that sparkles as it is being rotated...
This coin IMO is 100% NT found in a Mint Set...

It is a work of art, that agrueably took many many years to aquire such color, in that cardboard holder....

For your viewing pleasure:

Stunning for sure! Nicest color I have ever seen on a 53-D. Nice coin Pharmer and nice pics Lucy.

In the orginal thread where this coin 1st popped up, the shades of Pink were called into question...
The Pinks are indeed on this coin, and they look very natural to me, but what I discovered in imaging this one was some
trememdous shades of a wonderful Orange.... Luster is very strong making this one a sparkling jewel as it is being rotated and viewed..

Looks purdy nice to me

Lucy Lucy Lucy,

There you go, spoiling the AT namecalling fun of some of the people....don't you know better?

This week, it is ALL about AT and slamming on people....not disproving the AT

Come here honey, and I'll smack your behind!

And then we'll debate if the red color is AT or NT...

Nice touch Lucy-Bop........Rock on...........Rick

tsacch · April 28, 2007 10:50AM

Lucy's coins always rock.....almost as well as her cars and tunes. I didnt see the first thread, but not surprised its NT to me all the way.

foxxze · April 28, 2007 10:58AM

....The reverse is indeed spectacular ; the obv. has too many marks in the prime focal area for my taste ...

I doubt anyone might think it on the thresehold of 66 .

A prime example of a coin that 10 years ago would never have gotten higher then MS64 .

I believe Lucy : your photo skills are unmatched !

stman · April 28, 2007 11:15AM

Great image!!! I recall commenting on this coin. Never thought AT, if I remember correctly I thought a lot of the pink in the original images was from using a reveal bulb. I understand the pink is there.... but still feel all his images have even more of a pink hue from whatever imaging technique. The Morgans, etc. Looking at the slabs..... I see a pink hue on some that have been posted to help support my thinking.

This picture looks natural to me, and if you endorse it , that's pretty strong.

I went back and looked at the original post, and the original pictures. I can see how some would question the look of the coin. Hopefully Pharmer doesn't mind a comment on his pics - maybe some different lighting, tone done the saturation, or something. Those pics aren't quite believable.

GoldenEyeNumismatics · April 28, 2007 11:16AM

gorgeous frankie!

foxxze · April 28, 2007 11:22AM

yes ; friendly advice indeed -

tone down the saturation as those pic's are just not quite believable .

MORGANHUNTER2 · April 28, 2007 11:27AM

Awesome Frankie - pharmer

if that is aT- and they did not slab it- then send it to Braddick- he can get anything slabbed in any color also.

jmj3esq · April 28, 2007 11:46AM

Thats 100% real mint set color.

bushmaster8 · April 28, 2007 12:21PM

Nice job lucy bop. Pharmer you may just clear your name if Lucy gets her mitts (paws?) on smore.

But I still have reservations about that 54 Superlard bought from you a couple years back.

Rock-on Lucy!!

(wierd- I just put on Neil Youngs "I'm in Love with the Farmers Daughter" [the one with the champaign eyes] and then find these spectacular pix. I love Lucy- no doubt about it!)

Zoins · April 28, 2007 12:42PM

Just for comparison. Pharmer's on the left and Lucy's on the right.

SkyMan · April 28, 2007 1:12PM

With Lucy's picture's I will claim mea culpa and say I was wrong. From her pictures this coin appears NT.

pharmer · April 28, 2007 1:20PM

Where's the beautiful greens and blues in pharmer's images? Where's the bright lustrous orange? It's got a gorgeous rainbow of colors! What's he trying to pull by not showing that? Let's get to the bottom of it!

50cents · April 28, 2007 1:30PM

Great images Lucy and a very nice coin Pharmer

<< Learn something new about market acceptability all the time.

Is it kind of disturbing to see a seller like this with lots of toned Morgans? >>

pharmer · April 28, 2007 1:37PM

Yeah, who was the genius who threw that stone

Can't wait to see his images

Zoins · April 28, 2007 1:37PM

<< Yeah, who was the genius who threw that stone

I'm guilty of that one but at least they were questions not statements. I'm still learning about lighting.

I guess I'll have to get some special lights and try to make my slabs look pink

pharmer · April 28, 2007 1:40PM

You're quite the rabblerouser lately, aren't you zoins? Bouncing from forum to forum, setting fires, "they said this ats!" and "they said that ats!", always pouring gas, but no contributions otherwise. Whose alt are you anyway?

Zoins · April 28, 2007 1:42PM

<< Bouncing from forum to forum, setting fires, "they said this ats!" and "they said that ats!" >>

I consider that a public service for people who don't read both forums

<< Whose alt are you anyway? >>

If you think I'm an alt, why don't you come out and say who you think I am

pharmer · April 28, 2007 1:44PM

You showed up at the time of the purge, you're an alt. If you had any guts you'd say who you were before. And by the way zoins, unless you're editing right now, that was the first post you've ever made without an edit

Fairlaneman · April 28, 2007 1:44PM

<< I guess I'll have to get some special lights and try to make my slabs look pink

I tried and could not get the pink. It takes talent....

Zoins · April 28, 2007 1:45PM

<< You showed up at the time of the purge, you're an alt. >>

That's faulty reasoning and incorrect. Do you think all coincidence is proof of causality?

pharmer · April 28, 2007 1:54PM

Hey Ken, the talent lies in hiding the greens, blues and oranges. Especially the greens, just can't get them to show with reveal 50w spots. And that's the color I look for in coins. Oh well. So my coins look nicer in person (and in Lucy's images) than in my images. I'll bear up somehow.

LucyBop · April 28, 2007 2:00PM

BobaFett72 · April 28, 2007 2:04PM

Lucy, great job on the photos; quite a bit clearer and probably more accurate color wise.

IrishMike · April 28, 2007 9:04PM

Pink is a naturally occurring color in mint sets, especially on the dimes, quarters and halves. I chuckle when I see roosie collectors drool over the pink and blue dimes (I like them too) and yet don't think this can happen to a halve. Here is an entire pink halve, slabbed and not photo enhanced in anyway.

Pink as different than gold.

What does this have to do with my thread?

cheezhed · April 29, 2007 2:35AM

Beautiful images of a beautiful coin.

Thanks Lucy.

Why spend all day talking about a 20.00 coin???..............if it is at or nt who cares?

Because we choose to, if this is the case, why comment in my thread?

I only wish I could get that coin for $20

I don't know that person, but it was a dumb imature remark.

<<<<<<<<Why spend all day talking about a 20.00 coin???..............if it is at or nt who cares?>>>>>>>>>

Why not its an attractive coin with attractive photos. This coin was thought to be AT by many before Lucy imaged it. It can be very difficult to tell AT vs NT from images. This thread proves it. Why post at all. Go complain about a giveaway.
