PCGS submissions, Grading Opinions

[stevo1962]

Hi people could I please have some opinions on this just arrived
from Tasmania

[serial]

Looks good but George vi coins are a mystery to me grade wise. What is that dotted line that goes up between ny of penny?

[stevo1962]

The dotted line is not a scratch but a bit of a carbon.You can hardly notice it in hand

[serial]

Nice looking coin regardless. Can't wait to hear how it grades

That's a tough one. There are a few rim dings here and there, the hair and eyebrow look to be just touched off, and the flecky affect in the fields I assume is to do with the pic itself. OK, enough fence sitting, my guess is aUNC. What's that in PCGS, AU58 - MS60,61 ?

I have a lot of trouble grading from your pictures Steve
yes, it is a great big photo but in my computer screen is looks almost smudgey as if the pixels are too low even though it is a big picture

I guess that  I mean the photo doesn't look crisp - if I compare your pics today to Serials pics today - I can grade better from Serials photos

maybe fordie or someone could advise on the camera settings?

WOOT! my $200 cheepo camera trumps an iphone camera
thanks robbiegirl
however my coins look better in hand than  my pics show.

Hi RG if you click on the photo it should bring it back into focus and reduce the size a bit

[robbiegal]

nope doesn't work at my end Steve

[keldaw]

sorry Robbie , but works my end , trouble might be your p/c needs a service ?    ,, kel ,,

[robbiegal]

Cheers kel my computer isn't very old but the screen is pretty big 23 inches I think so it is pretty big. But the surface of the coins both in Steve and accumulators pics always looks unclear for me. Just how the resolution is I supposej

[JeffH]

Have you tried different display resolution settings?

[robbiegal]

no Jeff - haven't needed to because other photos like , mark's, robsters, fordies, serials, aj's  even Trouts all look like magic

I can grade from those photos
anyways doesn't really matter but it makes me hesitant to comment as I can't clearly see the surfaces etc etc enough to be really confident

cheers

You're not the only one robbie.  The images of that half penny are overly compressed and the compression artifacts make them hard to grade from. The obverse is a bit out of focus.  I wouldn't attempt to grade from them, but to be fair I wouldn't try to grade from Serial's latest images either.

Steve can you adjust the camera to use a less aggressive compression setting?

[robbiegal]

is the compression setting in the camera?
