Is that what the coin actually looks like, as if Liberty is wearing a mask? Or just shading in the photo?

Could be wear? A mix of that and lighting? Either way, looking good Dave. White balance looks fairly good. If you can set up or angle another light to get rid of the shadows that would be good too! What settings did you settle on for your camera?

Oh. Okay, I see that it's the fujifine film. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it?

Nice photo... Play with that lighting setup to get the best representation of the coin... Great coin too!

It looks like you are getting some reflection off of something red and it is showing up next to the stars - upper right

I can't really find a great picture of a 1818 online, and can't be sure without seeing ones side-by-side. - the bottom right star is usually lower compared to the hair - the top left star is usually a little higher - the pointed folds at back of neck: the lower point should be shorter these may all be variances in the dies, so don't take my opinion as gospel |

This may or may not hep Fuzzy317
O-101
Obverse die 1. Reverse die A.
Obverse: Date 11mm. 181 wider than last 18. First 8 is larger than secnd 8. Serifs and crossbar from 7 easily shows above top of 8 and there is a trace of the stand in the lower loop. Center dot located on neck
Reverse: Center dot between crossbars 4 and 5. T-I are in line on the right side,
Let me know if it does.
