rupester Pillar of the Community United States 1300 Posts	Posted 06/26/2014 4:54 pm got the camera out today!! first image of the day please throw out any suggestions as far as image quality!! I am learning about Camera Functionality and shutter speed! as far as this coin is apparantly as the die was wearing and being polished. a mint worker re engraved the tail feathers by hand on this coin you can see the markings in both wings.. I think this is pretty cool! It doesn't appear to have the re engraved tail feathers Edited by rupester 06/26/2014 5:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

rupester Pillar of the Community United States 1300 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 12:56 pm Franklin Collector, actually I believe the color was caused by a filter my camera had on it in conjuction with a clear light bulb and the fact the coin is in a dansco album.. I am a new coin photography person have had a DSLR camera for just a few months now and I am getting better at using it.. Plain and simple Coin photography should be called scientific photography.. For me its a learning process!! Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 8:17 pm Bet the color is from most, the reflection from the album. Take the coin out and try it. Type B rev. so I'm assuming it's a proof. Proof dies were worked on quite a bit during their stints. Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 9:56 pm you can get a "natural light" led bulb for a few bucks they make the color nice. the background reflects into it I use a yellow thing I should switch it to grey or something. not sure if this helps: But I noticed if I crop the image before I web optimize it. it will remain large in px but will be the right file size for 680px wide. if you crop using web optimizer it does both losing detail. I think you can also upload large image to free site or another site and hotlink it then if someone clicks on it it opens full size with all the details.
