Found this one noodling last friday  Ive got a couple 5c like this but this is the first of a different denomination I've found. Now I'm thinking I might need to try and find one for each denomination. Yesterday I took some photos for ebay and they turned out really well. Today I cant seem to get one that isn't blurry so sorry. Its weird how that happens sometimes. One day something goes great and the next it doesn't     |

Cool, the money shot is pic 3.
Your camera is focusing on the background, move back a few miller meters then retake the pictures.
Sometimes its better to have a pic in focus then a super large pic, having the coin a bit smaller wont matter as long as you capture the rim.

No I wont be selling this one anytime soon. I think it is one of the more spectacular errors to find in circulation and don't want to sell it only to regret it in down the track. Been there done that and I wont let it happen again.
Out of interest what do you estimate the value as? I like to write a rough range down on my spreadsheet. I was thinking $60-80?

Great find Enworb. I always check the rims on any slightly off center strike coins and have a few 5 cent and 10 cent partial collars. Haven't really been looking at 2 dollars coins but your nice find has inspired me.
Well done

So, Why not post the "photos for ebay and they turned out really well" here? Or, were they for something completely different? Get the edge of the coin in the centre of the shot (or check out focus option settings for your camera -single, multiple, area etc.); that can make a big difference. And, select highest macro setting (make sure you have good light). Jeff Edited by Jeff

I put 26 items on ebay yesterday none of which was this coin. The photos for all of them worked perfectly but today when I got the camera out I couldn't get a good shot. I was merely pointing out how sometimes things seem to go your way and sometimes they dont. I will be taking ozcoins advice when I get home and taking some shots from slightly further away. |
