Photographing proof and prooflike Morgans

Baley

Had this bad girl out of the SDB a few days ago and though I'd share a couple picture taking efforts





here it is more lit up; I'm pretty sure the scratch on the cheek and most others are on the plastic; some hairlines are on the coin's fields





Looking for objective and constructive criticism of the coin and the photography

If the top photos are accurate representation of the coin condition, very nice. The lower images seem to show far more marks... looks like two different coins. Taking photos or proofs is tough... I find lighting on a severe angle helps. Also, colors look off... particularly in first images.

Now that is a proof Morgan! I like 'em proof.

I enjoy the strike and detail of the proofs. PR 63s usually have less marks than MS 67s. Ahhhhhh, nice!

I think the 1st set of photos are more flattering, the 2nd set seems a bit washed out.

thanks guys, the first set of images in taken in shaded sunlight, all natural.
There's just a hint of golden toning to the coin which gives it the color shown.

the second set of images is from harsh overhead flourescent lights

Very nice proof morgan.

I hope to own one someday.

What's that grade on that puppy?

for contrast, here's a prooflike dollar
