bhnbfp20 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 2:57 pm I think it's the lighting, I haven't mastered coin photos yet. I tried to use as much natural light as possible, but I guess that is having the wrong effect. How are you supposed to take pictures of coins to highlight its features? Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 3:53 pm The angle of your light source is too low and it may need to be diffused somewhat depending on what you're using. I'll add both coins are AU until proven otherwise(with better photos) Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11893 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 7:56 pm they look polished to me too. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
