Hey John1. My "set up" is a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone camera and a small 5 dollar stand then I use a microscope app downloaded. Lol.
Nothing fancy... at all. Lol
I use books and stuff to block light or cover them with sheets of paper to reflect the light I guess sort of simulating a shadowbox or something.. real mickey mouse haahaha

Yup a macro clip on lens. I don't like it much but it's useful for extreme closeups at short ranges. Also got it for $5 with a fisheye and a wide angle from a store called five below.lol I'm cheap!

USSID18,
I have not yet. I'm struggling a bit with all the costs associated to get it graded from membership, and fees and shipping's, I can't bring myself to do it yet, not sure if I can ever bring myself to do it, until I see exactly where they settle and if it's worth it in reality for that gamble. Not really worth it if I take a loss doing it, that's for sure.

It was reasonable and worth it for me because it came back a high grade. I only use ANACS. |

I haven't submitted it yet, still sitting there in it's holder. Paid my property taxes, and over the hump so If I can save a little longer, maybe then I will send it out for grading.
Again, I'm kind of stuck on the costs to do it. It seems exorbitant in most cases. Maybe ANACS I need to check them out and see if theres a deal. I'm cheap still, too many bills and never enough money to do everything I want, so something always gets kicked to the side.
I'm looking at PCGS for membership at one of the levels, like silver or gold with the free grading vouchers, seems like it would pan out, just not sure what I can send or can't and want some more information, it must have been discussed on here at some point I'd think.
This way I could probably send my 2019S ERP silver eagle, a couple Ws that might make the 66-67 cut, and some other things I'd like to get done, or save the ones for the end of the year in case I hit some 2020 Ws I'd like to send. I dunno though. I need more info and know nothing about getting stuff graded from the various companies.
Seems like getting the membership with the free grading vouchers in return is the way to go though.

Send it to me, I'll submit it for you.  I only deal with ANACS, no membership required. I don't submit coins that often to get a membership. They usually only have 10 coin submission deals/specials. |

I'd give your coin the grade of MS-67.
