OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 03/30/2012 8:15 pm First, my main constraint...nobody will find me voluntarily on either side of a camera, ever. It's just highly objectionable to me (and would be to you too if you saw a picture of me), plus I don't own a camera. So I have to ask for a favor when I need a picture. What should I tell the person helping me out how to improve these images? In hand, there is no discoloration near the dates, so I suspect lighting is one issue. Anything else? Any value estimates with these images v. improved ones? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/30/2012 9:50 pm I would have the small date in an airtite capsule. I would try taking a picture of 1 coin at a time at a higher megapixel setting, re-size it to be within upload limits and crop it before uploading. But then, you take as good as or even better images than I do. Pretty good otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff

I quite agree with half of that statement. Aside Nickel Guy's astute advice, I'd add that the coins will be better-shot entirely outside any container. Report this Post to the Staff
