Those are some gorgeous coins!!

Please help me out - I'm looking for a great way to photograph mine. If you use a coin microscope, what make and model?
If you just use your phone, I'm blown away, but let me know how you handle things like glare, and getting really close like you do....

Well, I just use my phone
I use the camera function and zoom to 3x and center the coin in the frame, filling the edges as much as possible without cutting off the coin.
as for glare, I place a lamp 8 inches behind the top of the coin and about 15 inches above it. I hold my phone almost directly above the coin adjusting until I see the glare fade of the surface and I snap away.
After all that, I download it to my computer and using the default picture viewer that comes with Windows and crop it to the edges square, then resize to 600 pixels squared too.

Well, I decided to go and assemble another full set of OGP Eagles, seeing how I'm grading all the ones I already have with PCGS - I think you cannot have enough of these. So far all combined I have about 12 pounds of Silver (all in ASE form..

I agree with you, Dearborn, you can never have too many ASEs. Right now they make up about 30% of my silver coin collection and I'm not finished yet.
I'm currently attempting to get certified MS-69 or MS-70 ASEs each year back to 1986 and I'm at 2001.
Good luck on your OGP project.

Well here starts a new set - one I'm keeping on OGP they will comprise of Burnished and Proof ASE - not sure how I'm going to handle the early Bullion ones yet, I'm fairly sure they didn't come in OGP sets. (did they?)
Anyway, So I went and purchased the current years releases since they were still available from the mint.
So 2023 Burnished, S, and W:

That's an excellent start, Dearborn. Are you going to include the uncirculated ASE in the mint box?
