JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 08:14 am Nice pics. XF45. Obverse looks like it has enough luster for an AU grade but I think the gouges in front of Liberty's chin and lips brings it back down. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 08:52 am There is some wear on the beads around the neck. The gouges on the obverse are going to lower the grade a bit. Details look to be EF-40. Report this Post to the Staff

freewheel Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 09:32 am I have followed excellent advice given by SuperDave and bought a Canon T1i. I have also recently purchased a copy stand that provides an excellent stand for the camera and lights. It will take some time to get the full use of the camera but these photos were more or less out of the box and using automatic settings. I am finding, however, that not all coins photo the same way. I am really struggling to get good photos of my Mercury dimes as they all look "polished" when photo'd and some may be but I don't think all are! Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 10:48 am I agree with EF. Wear on feathers and ding in front of lips holds it back Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 10:49 am It's not complicated enough yet. Obverses and reverses do not photograph the same way. Using your Indian as an example, if you used, say, 1/60 for the obverse, you'd need 1/40 for the reverse to get the same look. Morgans, on the other hand, are "brighter" on the reverse so the obverse gets a longer exposure for the same result. Dizzy yet? We got lots more. Report this Post to the Staff
