PCGS didn't think this one a DCAM, I contemplating trying for a 69DCAM on this one.

    Nice shot Mo! Is that a raw or slabbed coin? If slabbed how did you get rid of any hint of the slab? How did you manage to get the shot of a proof coin with no reflection in the fields?

    What camera is it?

    Based on the photo and magnification, you could say it's a Pr70. Nicest 68 I've seen in a while. Buy the coin, not the slab!!

    I have a Nikon coolpix 995. I also have that dome thing spoken of earlier. FC57Coins & pmh1nic---I don't do nothing the camera does it all...hence the title to the thread. Just one of those lucky things...oh yeah, I have found I like the natural light coming through the window as apposed to a light bulb source, even those ge reveals bulbs seem to give a pink look.

    I think I will stick her on ebay for pq money and see where she goes. I actually don't real care if I sell her, she is so pretty.

    Oh, the reveal bulbs will give you that pink-brown sepia-like color if there is not enough white in the frame to auto-balance the color. Try shooting the coin on a white surface and see how it works. You can crop out the white easily and replace it with another color.
  • Morris-- nice picture. Bravo.
