NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 07/31/2012 10:32 am What's the best way to take detailed photos of my coins? Under light? Natural? Any camera? Set resolution? I'm new to collecting and picked up a 1861 silver 3 cent yesterday that I'm dying to hear opinions on grade.. Report this Post to the Staff

A couple questions: 1) Are you interested in buying some equipment, and what is your budget? 2) What do you currently have in the way of photography gear? A point-and-shoot? DSLR? Camera-phone?
