1890 Indian Head Cent Heavily Worn, Trying To Grade

G details, environmental damage, porous/corroded

G6

I am using my phone, Samsung galaxy s4 mini with magnifier application. On close-up pictures I'll turn flashlight on to reveal (or atleast try) better details.

Coin tone can slightly change when taking pictures with this application. But you can adjust contrast to get coin tone right or atleast better.

For better quality coins if coin tone is different with magnifier I'll take normal picture for right toning. After that I upload magnified pictures.

At somepoint I'll buy usb-microscope for better image quality and better close-ups. But for now this phone is all I got.

I bought a low end USB magnifier. Check my images in the topic about my Indian penny. I'll be trading up for one that has at least a 5 MP camera. Also took a couple photos with my Blackberry Z10 (yeah, I know, but I'm nursing the thing along because when I finally have to change it up, I'll have to get all new apps and re-enter a lot of stored data). I fiddled with the flashlight app just now, but being paranoid I denied access to my media card so it won't take a photo. I'll have to figure out how to change that setting.

And again I agree with IGE!

I am agreeing with the crowd. VG Details
