1913 Ottawa Mint update

[gazer]

Just an update on my 1913C from the royal Received today.

I promised some photos

Apologies but I have to say I'm surprised it got a MS62. There is a lot of missing detail on the hair and his ear is worn down. The reverse looks worse; there are a lot of flatspots. Unless it's the way the light is playing on the plastic slab of course?

Probably my photos, it looks ok in in the hands, but I will take another look, more closely next time. 

And see in the next few days to get some decent photos.

Thanks for the input I like it, makes me look more closely and then I get better understanding.

Cheers gazer.

Think that assessment might be slightly harsh seeing as you made it from his photos, though I'm not sure i disagree with the outcome . It does seem over graded imho, another example of why slabbing is a load of tripe!

I assume you guys didn't know this, but @gazer here is your coin:

Thank you very much for your effort in finding the coin and taking the time to upload it, I appreciate your help. 

Thank you gazer.

It looks a lot better from the PCGS photos

It's amazing how different the ear looks. The original photo looks fine must just be the plastic effect.

Just keep giving advice it's valuable, cheers sovereignsteve.
