Looks good, but like everything else, you have to learn how to use the equipment you have been given, it's only as good as the user. From what I've been told, Ray will work with you and be very helpful. I was just talking to someone yesterday about his equipment they had finally bought, I have not pulled the trigger yet....

1921?

The images look pretty good, nice focus, but the yellow is deceiving. Can you post up a full coin image for reference?

Yes, I will put very soon a new of my quarters DD variety.
My system it is the 400Q
I have to learn how to manage the system and the camera. The coin it is yellow as you see, I choice because I want to compare as TV. Seem to be OK as color.

@MAKE: Yes an 1921. You enlarge your horizon? LOL
Maybe you will go further :1908 $10 Roman Finish PR65 PCGS. CAC a beauty of the beauties. This coin was on Heritage on 4-th of May and sold for 780 K, I was till 250 K. I want to share with you. Congrat. to the winner.

Morgans were actually the first thing I got into, messed with them for a few years. I have a couple of discovery VAMs. Still the best looking coin out there, in my opinion.

Yeah, that's about $780k out of my range.

It is the 400Q photo system from Ray Parkhurst. I use a Canon true view to take the pictures. Before to has the system adapted by Ray for me I was not able to take as now.

I still have to learn how to set-up well the camera and the lens him send with the system and also to learn the 2 software I have: 1. Canon True View and 2. ON1 Raw professional picture. but I know Ray will guide me in achievement.

Who it is Ray? One of the most top photographers in the industry, if not the Best one.

PS: you can find him at https://www.macrocoins.com

Thanks Nick. Oversized ? Good point to learn. I put at 1600 so need to be lower. As I say, I have to learn step by step and only suggestions and critics will be made will make me achieve the good results. Thanks.
