Ok, this is my first foray into coin photography. I used an iPhone with a 10x loupe. Grade away! And no, you won't hurt my feelings, so be honest as I'm still new at this and trying to learn.   |

I'll go with ms63. There's some major hits on the obverse. Your photo isn't bad either. The color is great!

I'll go with MS63-
Until a clearer photo is present I'll keep it just below 63.
Otherwise, it's not too bad using a smartphone camera.

Too bad because he's a handsome one. The scattered hits and that spot do affect his grade, though. MS63RD on this otherwise gem.

63, for me as well. What I don't get, is how come my pics don't come out this clear?  |

I'm constantly amazed at what an iPhone camera can do.

I'm even more amazed that people can take pictures through a magnifier! I tried it for fun and failed.

Believe it or not, it's not really that difficult. I took my loupe, and used it like a macro lens right over the lens of my iphone. I adjusted my hand height, yes, I did it by holding my hands still, and took the shots. The method works well in a pinch, but I'm looking to get a real picture taking setup rolling.
On my spreadsheet, I graded it a MS-60. I still have a lot to learn!
