mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 10:02 am Quote: ...find a porcupine quill on ebay Plus devices like this or a thorn of a rose will not damage/scratch the patina of a coin possibly lowering it's grade: especially applicable for high-value proof like surfaces. Since I have several on the hand always I use them for all of my coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 10:22 am Here you go to get porcupine quills. More sites including ebay. I guess you can buy anything from the internet. http://www.zukiimports.com/tinyamer...-HaQod1LQALA Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 4:29 pm I'm not seeing anyhting, but I'm afraid we'll need an even closer shot, where the MM pretty much dominates the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
Supa Bustos Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 5:02 pm Ithis as good as my phone goin to let if you can't see any advise on getting a better picture thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 5:10 pm Sorry, not sharp enough to see the MM and the field around it clearly, which is what we need. Size is right, detail is not. Edited by Coinfrog 09/12/2015 5:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 5:29 pm I see you have an iPhone... These are GREAT at taking photos of coins, and heres how to take good ones: Get a stack of books, flips, anything really (i use hard foam cut into a stand) and place your phone so just a little bit more than the camera is hanging off. Then, take a photo! Works really well! Report this Post to the Staff

Here ya go so reinventing the wheel will not be necessary: proper lighting, acceptable glare, managing reflective patina, iOS software interfacing tips, you name it; it's here. You will be amazed at some of the photos that an outdated iPhone 4S is capable of. Check it out. It's better than dropping $ 200+ on expensive equipment that a user may not already possess etc: https://goccf.com/t/160092 Good luck Report this Post to the Staff
