Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 10:22 pm Pics are too washed-out to see surface details clearly. Edited by Coinfrog 02/01/2021 10:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7628 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 10:37 pm The dark stuff on the reverse at the 9 o'clock position would kill it for me. Report this Post to the Staff
Gremlins New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 11:14 pm I need to practice pictures. The dark stuff I think is shadows, working on lighting. Using a phone. Natural light, true blue light and warm light. Driving me crazy. Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 12:15 am The coins surfaces are washed out but the background has pretty good detail. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 12:46 am The dark stuff may be easy to remove. Try giving it a gentle bath in acetone. Bit of a risk to justify the shipping and grading fees. Needs to get a PF-70 for you to be really happy and justify the fees. Edited by sel_69l 02/02/2021 12:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 08:09 am Nice coin--holds some promise. New images taken in neutral, diffused lighting (with the light source just a tad more vertical) would help greatly. Two light sources may be needed. Report this Post to the Staff
HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 09:02 am I have better luck taking photos of Coins that are half dollar in size or larger with the Coin propped up, at an angle, instead of laying flat. A good light source is a must. I will leave a couple photos as an example. The lamp is $40 on Amazon. Photo was taken with my camera on my phone. Report this Post to the Staff
