Took some photos of my newest coin...

DJCoinz

how do you think they turned out?

Lighting is a little too diffuse for my tastes. It washes out the detail on the relief.

That coin would look good in any photo!!

A little more light would be better imo.

DJCoinz

I did notice that they came out a little grainy looking. I'll have to see if I change some settings.

I have one dumb Q . Is that a cameo Morgan?
I like it. I hope its better then the photo.

Instead of adding more light, lower the shutter speed. You'll be amazed at how much mor detail you will get. I have taken some really good pics of coins using a 4 second shutter speed.

It looks to be a proof Morgan that's at least cameo. Probably not deep cameo due to the darker toning.

That is one sweet morgan.

DJ, if you are use Photoshop to resize the pics, uncheck the resample box where you set the size pic you want, and all of the pixels will be used (more pixels per inch)

Thanks for all the tips I will try taking some more pics tomorrow.

It's not a proof but it is a beautiful "proof-like" . I don't think the toning will keep it from DMPL but I'm not sure. Personally I think it's DMPL.

Darkmane

That's how proofs should look, IMO

Beautiful coin... you can tell I don't collect proofs, eh?

Nice cameo appearence but heavy PVC damage. I would get it in acetone ASAP!
