1953 Proof set images cameo Franklin....thoughts

coinsarefun

Well after the fourth time bringing this thing out to try to image the them I have come to the conclusion that I stink at imaging proof sets. And, forget about trying to image cameo's!!
So here they are and let me know if you like them

The holder has numerous scratches all over the surface. I need to either re-holder or get them slabbed seperate.

Nice coins. I've had some luck using lower angle difused lighting or natural daylight during lowlight times to image proofs. I don't know of any way to take that many at one time though. I still usually have to slip 1-3 nickels under a slab to get a little angle on the coins since I shoot from a copy stand.

I like that cameo half! Looks like nice eye appeal for the grade...

Yep. Nice looking early proof set, too bad the scratches on the holder take away from your images. I didn't know NGC would grade a whole set like that. Do they still? I have a really nice early set I'd like to have holdered together.

I usually put Saran Wrap around my PCGS holders to prevent scratches.
If you want to photograph the coins in the holder, then unwrap the Saran Wrap from around the holder.

Thanks,

NGC has multi-coin holders. They can be used for Proof sets, Maundy sets etc. I have had Maundy sets graded in the multi-coin holder. They are terrific. PCGS should consider this
