daniels Pillar of the Community United States 1620 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 5:50 pm i see what you mean the pic you can see it in isn't a straight shot I rotated the coin from the 9 position to the 10. One more question if the doubling or a DD if the error/variety cant be seen from a straight picture with zero angle will it still be considered a error/variety. I hope I made sense I'm tired from working in this heat my brain is fried. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 6:04 pm There are some RPMs that are hard to see when shooting straight on shots. A rule of thumb, for me at least, I need to see it straight on. Now I have rotated the coin four times before 90 degrees each time and taking a photo each time. My light source stays the same, but the area that is hit by the most light changes when I rotate. Of course I reorient the photo to the correct orientation before posting photos online. Another tip I learned Coop is my coin is not sitting flat under my scope. It lies on a ramp that is about 15 degrees in pitch. This usually is not enough to distort the image, but allows for the light reflection to be controlled better somewhat. I know I need a better photo setup, but I am working on a shoestring budget. I have managed to get one son through college. The other is a sophomore this year. So two years from now...Daddy is getting a new setup.

daniels Pillar of the Community United States 1620 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 8:41 pm I know what its like being on a shoe string budget. I'm in the process of just dedicating my spare time to just search cents. So all my non Lincoln coins I'm gonna start selling so I can upgrade my camera and a new MD. I have a 16 year old and a 6 year old both girls and they always need something lol. Report this Post to the Staff
