After struggling for the last 6 months photographing coins, and posting a picture here for grading opinions, I decided it was worth a few bucks to invest in.

I won't give make model ect, as I don't want to appear be selling something, but I got it off Amazon, very inexpensive model, with high ratings.

If it takes good photos, I'll post some.

Maybe from the pictures, you can tell me if there decent.

Still learning

Ok, here are the test pics taken with an Iphone 7 cropped in Photoshop and run through your site's optimizer. Keep in mind this is a $15 light box, but to me at least it gives me a base line to take photos, instead of running from window to window in the house :)

The pictures look much better before going through the optimizer for posting.

Not bad. Please rotate photos properly before posting though. Thanks. Who does not agree with that grade from ICG?

Well, I think this is as good as it gets for this setup. Next up ebay for this one, one thing, the image optimizer here seems to really lower the resolution, but I digress, if that the rules, thats the rules :)
