Trust me, if you guys saw how I'm taking my photos, you would freak! In short, an inexpensive digital camera, a strange adjustable arm lamp, and a microscope. oh yeah, and a pain in the neck from doing it. I dont have a macro is what I'm trying to say.
So, my photos dont always look as the actual coin to the eye.
So, in response to your response, I changed my technique a bit for these picts. they are a bit more realistic. see if they change your annalasis at all. Any suggestions on improving my picts.
Im trying to show the difference between the way the coin actualy look, as apposed to the way that is changed by the camera using the letter "R". Also, note the mint mark width to the East.
