jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 11/25/2014 9:09 pm Got this silver Ike at a local coin club auction. Took it out of the brown box for an air tight. There is clear notching on the Liberty, date and IGWT. I have tried but cannot get a pic of IGWT showing the spread. These things are hard to photo. Looked closer at the Ike Group and it seems to match 2SP-302. IGWT matches as does the rest of the markers with the exception of the stars which just might be my eyes. Got to figure out how to get some good pics of this coin. Edited by jprine 11/25/2014 11:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Connicoins Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 11/26/2014 08:45 am I have a microscope ordered that is suppose to be able to take pictures and has a USB plug in to download image. Hopefully this will assist me with my images, as the camera and I have a love/hate relationship. Your photos are better than any of the ones that I am too embarrassed to post. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Connicoins, we have a subforum dedicated to photography and you're welcome to stop in and absorb some experience. Report this Post to the Staff

jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 11/26/2014 11:40 am I shot the full images with a Canon T1i mounted on a copy stand. I used my axial lighting setup which I am not very good at, you can see I still have some lighting issues. The images of the devices was shot with an iphone and olloclip attachment (pic below) with a 15x magnification. I edited all the photos with photoscape. Coinicoins-I purchased an AmScope a few months back specifically to shoot photos with. I have never been able to get it to work; I cannot get a focus on any coin. I have spent hours emailing back and forth with the company but no one has a solution. I do love the microscope as it is excellent for searching for varieties, etc. I hope you have better luck with yours-if you make it work maybe you can give me some pointers.
