I ended up going with 2 gooseneck led lights to even out the lighting for my cellphone pictures. I remove the diffusion cover and have the lights close to the camera lens on the phone and adjust the angle on the lights until the coin gets lit up evenly

Here’s some example photos

Can we just say it's the "missing olive branch" variety and be done with it? If the Mint really wanted to mess with us, let them mint a few hundred dimes with an olive branch and have this thread grow even longer!

Ok, apparently @lordmarcovan is taking this time off, so as he requested of me a few weeks ago, I’ll fill in.

Today is Sunday March 15th. Although Shakespeare told us to “Beware the Ides of March”, we’ll all be safe today replying with photos of Seated Dollars with the motto “In God We Trust” on the reverse (1866 - 1873). The first U.S. coin to display that motto was the 1864 Two Cent piece.

Here’s my Seated Dollar. Unlike mine from yesterday, this one failed getting a plus via Reconsideration, just like most of my attempts have also failed.

This is really a nice PR-64. You have to look it from an angle. The window for getting this in Proof is kind of narrow. It's limited to 1858 to 1865 because of the addition of the "In God we trust" motto.
