<< <i>Hi everybody. I saw this thread and had to post in it. These coins are indeed a challenge to photograph, and as you can see I've been practicing a few techniques with various submissions. I only have a few seconds to photograph a coin - but these coins are taking a bit longer. It's tough to know what a certain collector is looking for in a shot, whether it be the surfaces, the luster, the color, etc etc so that begs the question as to which you guys prefer in the various shots of the URH I've taken? Your feedback would help me out. Thanks Phil Arnold >>
I think all three are great and after seeing them I am even more happy I bought one (mine's NIB, haven't seen it and probably won't open it any time soon).
But of the three images in the one post above, I think I'd take the middle (14201280).

Mike i wonder if yours would get a PL designation if crossed to NGC. Yes ...PL....check out the BST theres a thread by Modercoinmart about a MS69PL by NGC on the bay right now. Not mine but just wanted to share this info.

Joe, I appreciate your advice...but I'm sticking with my PCGS MS70FS....hands down!!!!!
Besides, my coin is most likely PL from what I recall.
However, I haven't gotten her back from PCGS for another looksee!!!

70? It looks to be a small rim bruise @ 3:00 and 7:00 obverse on the op coin........it is a reflection of sorts or am I crazy and seeing things ?

Actually the rim 'bruise' at 11:00 and 11:30 on the reverse is more noticeable under 10x magnification.
Someone noted that this anomaly may be caused by the clamping device for the edge lettering press.
I only had the coin in hand for 10 minutes before I sent it off to PCGS...the obverse was virtually 'perfect.'
See giant image below........
Bully, I did not mean to knock the coin at all, but you know that right?
<< <i>70 means perfectly " as struck ", so..........

Agreed, AJ!
Isn't there a pass given if the mint mucked it up??
Check out the other two MS70 TrueViews posted earlier in large format.
Those reverses had even more 'bruising' on the reverse than mine....PCGS must find it 70 acceptable for some reason??
In theory these coins should be MS69's....but I'll take my 70!!!
I would love to see a big image of the two MS68's that were graded by PCGS!!!!

Love the large images Goldbully
But whoever has dial-up should definitely upgrade...and get rid of their pagers and get cell phones while they're at it
