Phaedrus29 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 01:40 am Another coin from my father's collection, with older ANACS photo grade certificate. I'll post the certificate and grade soon, but how would you grade it? I'm planning to sell this one, so if there's any information I should include in the item description please let me know. Thanks!

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 07:36 am Tough to tell from your pics. Certainly at least mid-AU. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 07:53 am pics kind of obscure the detail. I recommend using a tan or beige background color instead of white. If you were to sell this coin on ebay, posting a poor picture of a great coin can mean a considerable loss in money. Edited by Celticsoul 01/29/2015 07:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

Phaedrus29 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 11:58 am Some negative (and helpful!) comments about the photos. Is the problem just the background? The lighting is very strong...should it be diffused or potentially at more of an angle? Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 2:26 pm Experiment with different background colors, different lighting etc.. Once you have a picture that looks like the coin does when you have it in hand you know you're there Report this Post to the Staff
