Mess around and see where you get the best focus, then crop the best ones after. Moving the phone closer to fill the screen doesn't give good results in my experience. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18673 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 08:33 am the 2nd set of photos for the 96 and 98 have too much glare. I think the original photos are better to grade from. the 96 could make G4 probably (details/ED) the 98 looks like the second hair style and a corroded planchet which many of them were. this occurred prior to striking. the coin looks F15 details(ED) and is very close to VF Report this Post to the Staff
t25135 Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 11:28 am Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments. I actually sent away my '94 for grading last month and am curious to see what that comes back as. It has some pretty bad corrosion on the reverse but the obverse looks nice.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 12:34 pm It is really tough, and expensive, to get early large cents that are not corroded and have a natural, smooth surface. Taking good pictures of dark large cents is very difficult. I haven't even figured out the trick myself. Suffering from bust half fever.
