This isn't exactly a powerhouse of an RPM, but I've been posting some of the quarters that came in lately so figured I'd toss this one up as well. Plus I am experimenting with lighting so need subjects to play with. 1945 S/S Washington quarter - RPM-007    |

Nice RPM, but my preference would be overall pics with less direct light. These ones seem overexposed to me.

Very nice rpm.
Sometimes then I have lighting problems when the it is from directly overhead, I'll slightly tip the coin towards me and push the light back a tiny bit, This more the glare back off the top of the coin.

Oh yeah, it's overexposed. In places. My lighting has always been optimized for Lincoln cent images, but lately there's been an abundance of other stuff coming in and trying to work out something that will keep my Lincolns the correct color and all that yet get better images of, in particular, quarters as they have more relief and the light glare is hard to shake using my set up. I bought a ring flash to try and shoot through the middle of it but haven't set it up yet.

Your photography is quite superior--better than 95% of what we typically see here.

It has the exact markings of the VV stage C so yeah, that's probably it. I say probably as no other die stages are shown.

By request. This is with a removable filter on my current lighting set up so something that could be done quickly and then removed. But the coin loses a lot of it's luster and looks bland and a bit yellow. Good for showing the coin here, but bad if I was trying to sell it or show a friend how nice it is.   |

Much more belter photo. I have to learn the lights and white balance.
TROP, I suggest to see Wex web side to see the exact RPM.

It is certainly RPM-007, as the die scratch from the top of the R to the top of the D is a perfect match as well as mm position and the location of the secondary mint mark. I do not then go to the other sites to figure out the cross references, as once a coin is attributed I move on.

Nice RPM. Best of wishes with your photo setup - no doubt your Lincoln cent images are the best we have here.
