biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/12/2009 11:35 am I am guessing that you scanned this coin since I cannot see a bit of luster. I think I see some rub so I will call it AU. With better pics, it could go higher. Report this Post to the Staff

What kind of camera do you have? There is a section on this forum with tips on coin photography. In particular, check out this thread: https://goccf.com/t/29441&whichpage=1 I've taken decent pictures with lesser camera used in that thread...4 megapixel and 3x optical zoom.

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 01/13/2009 10:11 am the camera I am using is a kodak - easyshare cx7720, 2.0 mega pixels, with a 3x (max.) zoom. I use it mostly for photographing buildings. so far I haven't been too successful with coins. Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 01/13/2009 2:12 pm If that camera has a timer for the shutter, and a macro mode for getting up closer to the coin, you may be able to take passable (is that a word?) pics of larger coins. Tripod or something to hold the camera steady required. But dimes, cents, and nickels would be more difficult. Report this Post to the Staff
