I have had this coin for months and took a few quickies tonight (bored again on a Friday night ).
Let me know what you think of it..........good, bad, grade or whatever!

BTW, there is some schmutz on the holder and thanks in advance.

That obverse image is great and its size really shows off the awesome design of that small cent.

Very Purdy!!

That's a sharp-lookin' Flyer.

One of these days I will get a nice one or two. Currently the best I have had was a mere PCGS XF45.

Strike is a little mushy. It appears to be a scan, and I'm betting there is more luster than the scans show. Grade.....AU-53.

"mushy" might be do to my imaging, the camera was not absolutly square to the coin (sorry)

I also need to work on my lighting.................

Pretty coin- it is one of my favorite designs. Your pictures come out far better than mine, BTW.

Will adjusting the depth of field or aperture setting help get the coins mushy apearance gone? I am working on my little camera set up also but get discouraged easily with it.

Boy I relate to that.

I was in the dumps about my images and recently shot one coin at various focal lengths, ISO settings, Exposure settings (+/-) , lights (# & angle & type) until I had a shot I was happy with. Many members are extremly gifted at coin photography so it's easy to get intimidated.
On the other hand, the finest photographers on this board are really good at sharing advice and encouragement.

I'm not to sure about the reverse rim.
I know how hard it is to find a truly awesome FE cent.
I guess the grade of XF45, but I don't really like to grade from photos.

DoubleEagle59

it's got to be better than an au53 or xf45.

I'm estimating au58

Am I seeing things or are those some serious scratches below the eagles head on the obv?

YUP!

Those scratches are on the coin.
I'll re-image it later.

Thanks again,
