    Thanks for the compliments.

    The coin is NGC 64. I think the small patch of hairlines in front of Liberty's forehead limit the grade. But definately PQ.


    what kind of lighting are you using?

    I just bought a second OTT light as I was getting shadows with just one light.

    how did you get it blown up so much with no loss in resolution

    The pic is actual size. I finally figured out how to take smaller pics. With the previous setting I was using, I needed 4 monitors to fit the pic.image Then in Photoshop I just saved it using the "save to web" setting. I had to reduce the quality just slightly to be able to fit it into Vendio's upload maximun of 500 kb.

    Previously I had to resize and dramatically compress the image to meet the PCGS upload maximum. This severely limited the qualityof the pics. It especially look away a lot of the luster. So I joined Vendio, uploaded the pic then linked it to the PCGS boards.

    Mgoodm---I don't have the specific settings right now. They are on my work computer. I will send you a PM with the details.

    I was going to grade the coin at 64, I really was, really. Even before I scrolled down to see your followup post.

    I give the photo a grade of 70. Pretty awsome no matter how it was achieved. image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
