65bubba New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 05:10 am Collecting for some time now. Very new to grading and sites like this. I have some coins I would like opinions on. And any advice would be greatly appreciated. For example should I clean a coin before taking pics or could that harm the coin and value? What's the best way to capture a clear picture? I thank you all in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 07:13 am to CCF. NEVER clean a coin,you can conserve coins but not until you have a very good handle on the process. Take coin pics with the coin out of any holder whenever possible. One full coin pic of the obverse and one full coin pic of the reverse and one or two close ups when needed. We have a section on photography and here is a link to a good site on grading https://www.PCGS.com/Photograde/ John1 Report this Post to the Staff
