TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 09/14/2006 5:23 pm Jayson, I had the same trouble trying to get a good reverse shot when I first started taking my Morgan pics.The reverse is so "busy" on the Morgan that if you move at all it will blur just a little.I was able to cure that by using a tripod or any solid surface to steady the camera about 12" from the coin.Also,I don't know what kind of photo editing you have but if you can crop the pictures so just the coin is in them it will make them much larger when you post them and we will be able to guess our grade better. Hope that helps some. I cropped this one for you. Edited by TLS5933 09/14/2006 5:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/14/2006 6:42 pm At least post some practice shots. All the fun in 1921's is on the reverse. Reverses tend to want less lighting that obverses with Morgans - partly because they're generally more lustrous, and partly because of all the many-angled surfaces moving light around. I get much better luck with direct light on reverses, and indirect light on obverses. Edited by SsuperDdave 09/14/2006 6:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
