Quote: Stunning half-cent, pepactonius! Thanks -- sometimes I think old film shots make the coins look better. Resolution is much less than with a modern DSLR, and this hides some of the flaws on the coin. With film, you had to focus using the optical viewfinder, instead of using live view with 100% pixel zoom. This was a lot less precise, and you often ended with fuzzy photos.
