Love to see how grading works so figure might as well grade one of mine. :)

This was my first real 'purchase' of a decent coin.

Sadly the case is attracting dust fairly well so its hard to get a shot thats 100% clean. The coin itself though is. Nothing inside the case I can see with the naked eye either side.

I'm still developing a photo process so this is the 'best' I have so far but I may have better in the future. Actually working on one to keep the dust out while I shoot so I can dust it off and then place it in the shooting box and shoot it.

Yeah we're workin on that. Problem is I only have a 100$US camera with, all be it a very nice, macro mode but when I get close enough to get that kind of picture I get the reflection of the camera really bad.

We've tried putting black cardboard around the lense which gets most of it but then we run into lighting problems because the camera is so close to get the nice macro shot.

So for now its been a trade off of really nice close up macro no reflection with bad lighting or not so close up (less detail) macro no reflection with ok to good lighting.

My dad though and I are working on a shooting box that will combine the two just gotta take time to do it.
