You should title them(date, mint mark, Denomination, request/your number) "1890 P Morgan for Grading 2/250"I think you might also need diffuse light. With that pic I agree with grape. If you want opinions on it's VAM, this is not the right area. Nice coin  |

Hard to tell with those pics, but looks like a lot of unidirectional hairlines on the obv. Hard to tell and I am not bashing in any way, but needs clearer pics IMO *EDIT*  And nice coin  Edited by Joemoris

I'll say AU-50, but please keep working on your pics. Getting the color correct is critical to a proper evaluation.

That's two coin posts from me so far and the community folks here aren't that impressed with my photos yet ....LOL. I think then rather than posting #3 and #4 and so on, I'll just continue to post this same 1890 under different light conditions until I get a consensus that the photos are adequate for a proper evaluation as to grade, as accurate as you can get that is from pictures.

try no lighting. just whatever is there. If you're using a camera try phone. sometimes its easier to get decent photos that way, at least good enough to evaluate from. your lighting is just washing out all the fields

Try to get the coin photo to look like it does in hand. From your photo the coin should have a light gold toning. You can also try different back ground color. I use white the most for back ground color.

OK, so here is another set of obverse and reverse of the same 1890 taken with only the camera flash for light. I think it really looks better in my hand than in the pictures, but then again my eyes aren't as sharp as my camera lens.   |
