mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 03:03 am Hi daniels, One of the most important features I initially focus on are the breast feathers when grading Morgans. Unfortunately, at least from my computer screen, it appears that the breast feathers of this coin in question have too much glare which obscures the necessary details required to properly grade it. Trying some different lighting configurations should produce a more suitable photo without so much glare. You may find some interesting pointers on this subject in the following CCF thread: https://goccf.com/t/109798 IMHO, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Turn off your flash, use plenty of surrounding light, but not directly on the coin, and put your camera into macro mode. That will help a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
