I have had these for a long time (2001) never got pics of them. Trying to catch up on photo taking. It takes a lot of time and it has to be a sunny day! :) Thanks for looking and comments welcome. :)

    Very nice dimes. Both appear choice for the assigned grade.

    Agreed, although the reverse of the 1901 appears slightly out-of-focus.

    The toning is doing that to your eyes. Look how focused the corn and wheat are.

    Very nice pictures so what type of camera are you using when you’re taking your pictures?

    Is the 1901-S over something else?

    It's mostly a circular area below the M in DIME which appears a little blurry. Could be something on the plastic, or maybe just an optical illusion.

    I have always liked the look of 61 & 62 coins like these.

    My I phone has a great camera and I am try to figure out my next move. Pricing on those seem high for resolution but the system seems nice and portable. If you don’t mind do you have a stand and specification on yours. Or if you were me would you just get a scope with the Third eye to mount off? I engrave coins at times. Sorry to highjack but you seem to know what your doing with those pictures :)

    @Kkathyl - no problem. Yes, I have a stand and would suggest getting that for stability. I forget the model and specs on mine. I will try and find the info and PM it to you. I know I have it somewhere. I like it because it is easy to use and can do close ups for varieties. The only disadvantage is sunlight is the only light source I have found that works with this setup.
