nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/21/2019 10:49 pm Before I tackle proofs, I'm practicing my photography of reflective business strike coins. For grading via photo, how are these? Should they be lighter or darker, more or less contrast? Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/21/2019 11:18 pm for example, here's the same coin with different lighting, the increased contrast emphasizes the hits, making the coin look worse than it does in hand since IMO the goal is to show the coin as close as it looks in hand, the earlier pics are better Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/22/2019 03:29 am I much prefer the second set of pics and it looks high AU to me. We all want to choose the pics that make our coins look the best, but for grading purposes, closer than "in-hand" examination is needed and those marks would be seen with a loupe. Edit: the first pics seem to show the coin reflecting a brown/orange light that makes it look odd.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/22/2019 09:08 am Agree, but if you want a grade, I'd say 63 tops. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 02/22/2019 10:22 am Big hits on face, lots of chatter and not a good strike, I'll give this coin an MS 62, but If the pictures emphasize the marks then perhaps 63. Report this Post to the Staff
