I'll have the full (NGC) slab for you later this afternoon.
I'm curious how close your guess will get.

    Boy... that's a hard one to call. No apparent lustre but probably MS.
  • richardshipprichardshipp Posts: 5,647 ✭✭✭
    No... just can't see it as MS. I'll officially say AU 55 or maybe 58. Heck I don't know.

    AU-50 just because I have a couple of CBH's in that grade that are dark and harder than heck to show any luster on.

    As I said, it's still a pretty coin, the second shots of it are better.

    Thanks.
    Whenever I shoot coins without luster straight-on they turn out a bit darker than they really are.

    So crank up the exposure compensation (looks to me to be about one full stop) on the straight-on shots. image

    In other words, lengthen the shutter time by 2x -- so if you're shooting at 1/10 of a second at f8, try 1/5th of a second at f8. Then dial back from there (i.e. you might try 1/8th of a second too).

    Hope this helps...Mike

    I am actually surprised at any AU grade on this. I see no lustre, which I always thought (maybe my mistake) was necessary for an AUxx grade.

    Don't get me wrong, I like the coin, but it should be an XF49.

    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.
