Hordfest Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 4:47 pm Went through a bunch of mint wheaties and this is probably the nicest one I have found. Any chance at an MS66 or 67 do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 4:52 pm Looks nice. Suggest removing the coin from the 2x2 and take new pics. Photos taken through 2x2 mylar can distort/hid surface details. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 6:00 pm Hordfest - I usually, very carefully, cut the film along the edge and then pull it back. Don't mess with the staples. I certainly understand your concern with removing them from their little 2x2's. Edited by dsking 04/14/2023 6:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Hordfest Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 8:04 pm Here you go. Pardon my LED photo box. Sometimes it's too bright lol. Also I haven't figured out how to make my Macro lens on my phone to not reduce the resolution when I crop. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 09:31 am too much glare from your box. I would just photograph it without using that or any overhead lighting. the glare appears to be washing out some marks especially on the obverse i would try with the lens and without the lens. just for the heck of it try this. btw put the coin in an album or air tight not a 2x2 with staples 1. if coin is in holder, remove coin from holder if possible 2. turn off flash 3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color 4. move phone about 3in from coin 5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it 6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring Report this Post to the Staff
