Tony, Really nice photos, may I ask how did you take them?

Thanks, Bill. I used the "auto" setting on a Kodak EasyShare, and I used the overhead fluorescent lighting at the coin shop.

Tony, I have a Kodak EasyShare and get nowhere near the quality you did. I have a dx6340. Is mine too old? Do you use the zoom or anything else? Thanks

murty, it's an EasyShare Z710. I use Adobe Photoshop to bring out the features on the coin. I hold the coin up to my computer screen and then make adjustments to get the photo looking as close as possible to the actual coin.

This is the sixth nickel in the current batch that I am photographing; a 1926 S. The gold toning is neat.
