Can you give/show the equip/specs of your setup to take such great pics too?

I have a DSLR mounted on a microscope stand with a bellows and enlarging lens...dedicated to shooting coins. I use a couple gooseneck led lights with tissue wrapped over them as diffusers. There is a TON of info on this forum in the coin photography section. As a matter of fact, there is a 10 page thread started in 2015 by me, and it shows my learning process. Lots of great help from other members!

That's a beauty! There is something between the E and N on the reverse. So MS69 I'll say

http://goccf.com/t/389711#3334627Thank you for the info, yes I've looked extensively and tried to duplicate, just never seems to turn out as well. Microscope rather than a tripod seems to be a running theme I need to try. Envious of your coin and photo skills :)

I'd have to agree with MS69, maybe my eyes play tricks but I feel like I see little 'spots' like in the field beside the shield next to E Pluribus...
Your picture skills are killer though

However; this grade for this coin is fairly common. Not really. MS69 is common,but a 70 is not. John1 |

MS70 is about 1/4 compared to the MS69 going by your chart, and going by prices for the 70 vs 69 I guess we all have to make up our own minds. Just curious,where is that pop you posted from? John1 |

68, maybe 69 but it's REALLY hard to use photos for grading at this level.

Thad, I know what you mean, and I agree with your assessment in hand. Probably a 68 with a shot at 69.
