National Park Quarters, the first doorway looks a little blurry!!!

This has come up almost a year ago, and I've been back and forth, up and down so to speak, with tired eyes. Take a few looks and ill try and get pictures of the coin and its entirety. My battery on this microscope died. And since I figured this out I feel like I went back to school. I feel like an old man yet I'm just 35 computers and tech can be tricky, but I figured it out. Which means I can show a lot of these "Masterpieces" a gift from good old Uncle Sam.

What exactly are you asking?

[Kurtis Lowe]

Im trying to get a feel for the site, like who did you contact, how did you hear about Coneca, i see your almost as new a member as myself.

[HeartWith02]

Yes, I'm new here as well. I'm also getting my feet wet. I heard about CONECA from Dr. Wiles.

back in the day we used to walk 6 miles to school, in our bare feet with 2 ft of snow on the ground. It brings me back to my thoughts about the grading companies hiring and training new graders. I'm really wondering if they have a more advanced bunch for different kinds of coins,

[HeartWith02]

I wonder what these guys would say about your coin?

[mustbebob]

A more advanced bunch? Of what? Grading companies just don't go out and hire and train new examiners. Those folks have dedicated many, many years to the hobby, and some of them may have started out just like any of us. Not only that, they have to be able to grade/authenticate multiple types of coins. You can pretty much be assured that those folks are the best of the best at what they do.
