Challenge to Brandon (Poorguy) - who can take better images of an 1804 Half Cent in NGC MS 63 BN?

ANACONDA

I hereby challenge Brandon to an "image off". Who can take the best images of this 1804 Draped Bust Half Cent in NGC MS63 BN? (For what it's worth, these are the first images I've taken in the last 18 months.)

Brandon won't be able to post his images until later today. (It's 6 o'clock in the morning and Brandon doesn't yet know of this challenge.) I'll send this message to the top after he posts his images and then I'll create a poll and you can vote.)

(Update - I'll let Brandon select a coin of his choosing to challenge me to - see post immediately below this one.)

To be fair the "image off" should be of two coins, the other being Brandon's choice.

ANACONDA

Fair enough. I'll let him choose a coin to compete with me against.

I've seen Brandon's photos, and I would officially say that you are in trouble.

ANACONDA

Yeah, when I had to add that he can choose a coin for us to image, I thought, uh oh, this could be a problem.

Already making excuses.

Bring that half cent into work today and I'll image that one.

I agree. You would have been far better of challenging Coinguy1 or me

poorguy

Although I have to admit that your image of that half cent, seeing what terrible condition the slab was in yesterday, is outstanding!

ANACONDA

It'll be on it's way to the office before my noon appt.

Here's my entry.

Here is the coin in the slab for comparison.

ANACONDA

I was at the office when Brandon finished his images. My Mom said mine were better.

Actually, on Brandon's monitor my images came out with a light purple glow.....and then they came out with a light purple glow on the monitor in my office. So, my monitor at home is messed up. Good to know that.

Needless to say, Brandon's images are better than mine. No need to run a poll. I admit I got creamed.

I could do a better job but we're going jet skiing, so, there's no time to overcome my defective equipment. (One consolation is that I guess I know how to find good talent.)

Stick a fork in yourself, Adrian. You are done.

Boy, I wish a had a nickel for every time I've heard that tired old excuse.

poorguy

I see your Half Cent and I raise you a penny.

poorguy

Oh, and I took the liberty, no pun intended, of fixing your image as well.

STEWARTBLAYNUMIS

PURPLE INDIAN CENTS !!!! Can you REALLY sell them ?

I think Brandon should be jet skiing and Adrian should be fixing his broken equipment.

Adrian... Brandon done some whooop-ass on you, my man.

ANACONDA

I agree.

Forget about the pics of the 1804 - I just want the coin! BTW, is the 63 grade accurate? Looks to me like it may be a bit better than that.
