spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 11:57 pm Let me just say that this guy gave me fits trying to get decent pics! In hand it looks great, but whatever I'm doing makes it look scratched to oblivion. After a while, I started thinking that the reverse is somewhat PL which would explain some of my troubles with getting a clear image of that side. The last pic is to try and show how the fields are mirrored almost like an impaired proof.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/18/2020 04:40 am I appreciate the optimism, nickelsguy, but I seriously doubt this is a mint state coin. I think it's low AU at absolute best. In any case, thanks for looking and commenting!

I've been meaning to set myself up to photograph my own collection but keep managing to not do it for some reason. Report this Post to the Staff

The main light source is actually the overhead light in the room. I set the coin nearly vertical on edge against a black piece of cardstock and have a DSLR on the table as close as I can focus and zoom in with a kit lens. I use a laptop to remotely shoot and preview shots. I use a small LED light in hand to highlight if needed. Sometimes it works great, but sometimes I can't seem to get a good shot and the smaller the coin, the harder it is. Quote: I still see no wear on high points. Okay, I'll relent.
