#1, by a mile.

Top one.

I concur - #1 looks best, and I'm guessing is most accurate as well.

#2 looks washed out and masks the flaws. It also doesn't really
show anything that cannot be seen in #1, except perhaps to show
possible carbon spots. Is this one with diffused lighting?

I will make it a unanimous #1. The diffuse lighting used in #2 sometimes brings out more colors, but does not give any accurate idea of what the coin actually looks like. K6AZ had a good thread on this earlier today I believe.

The pic behind door #1 of course; its a no brainer.

#1 is prettier, but #2 shows the "endroller" pattern much better.

BillJones

Neither picture is probably a exact representation of the piece. The colors in #1 are probably too bright unless the light were to hit the coin at a certain angle. #2 is without a doubt too dull. Still I agree with the others and would select #1 as the better shot.

Well, #1 is a more honest picture in that it shows all the dings much better, but I like #2 for color. I'd say you need both.


Frankly, I'd prefer a picture WITHOUT the fingerprint, though.

TUMUSS

Thanks for the input.

I agree #1 is the better image of the two. I just can't seem to talk myself out of seeing the difused lighting shot because it brings the color and pattern out better.

I have been spending some time working on my imaging, and starting to reshooot my entire collection.

#1 is nice.

This is the type of coin where I'd use both pictures... show the pattern/color, and show the lustre. On some coins, the color and lustre can be combined in one shot... when they can't, just use both
