Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 11:39 am Yes that one is marginally better but still very blurry and unidentifiable. We need crystal clear images and don't worry about circling it. Crystal clear is the focus here Report this Post to the Staff
mongoz Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 11:51 am cant get a better one ATM my good camera is charging I had to use my phone for that one Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 11:53 am Stack books a few high and lay your phone on it with the camera aperture hanging off. This steadys the phone for a clear, crisp shot Report this Post to the Staff
mongoz Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 12:09 pm If I do that the camera is too far away from the quarter to pick up the mark Report this Post to the Staff

mongoz Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 5:06 pm well I cant get any good pics but it is completely separate from the beak so I doubt it would be a hard hit Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 12:14 am The coin contact moved the material on the beak to a new location. Thus the appearance of doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
