Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 8:24 pm Doc - I think the problem is that you don't know how to post good photos of your coins - straight-on full shots of both sides like most posters do rather than your angled, well-intended but unsophisticated efforts. Do you disagree? Edited by Coinfrog 02/02/2019 8:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 10:03 pm Quote: I dislike the double staple. I was thinking the same thing. It's only a matter of time before one of those staples scratch another coin. I would take a pair of pliers and compress those staples down into the cardboard. Report this Post to the Staff
DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1379 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 10:30 pm USSID18....good point....I'm removing it now. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 10:59 pm I can almost guarantee you will improve your photos if you take the coin out of the 2x2 first. I don't think the true color is coming through in the pics.

DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1379 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 11:02 pm That's probably true....spruett001...I may give it a go again...I usually don't like doing that if I don't have a spare holder, but it's a melt value coin which I got a few bucks above because I liked it....I should give that a try and not worry about the holder. I should've done that from the get-go .lol. Spruett001..I really couldn't pick up the reverse and the original photo was better, but perhaps the obverse better from before. Attempt #2.....hoever Spruett I think the first attempts were better for color....but the second were better for the straight shots or somewhat straight-on shots.

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 11:43 pm Doc- Can you get directly over the coin and as close as this? Report this Post to the Staff
DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1379 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 12:03 am Not really ..I lose the light and shadows get cast over from the camera...I don't have the proper lighting. this is a quick attempt with a lint on the lens. I don't have the proper setup or the proper lighting. I'm not even as close as you and I already lost the light any closer ...becomes darkness.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 1:19 pm I have sets of Mercury dimes and all are as white as possible. I'm not a fan of toning but those are really interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
