*grade added* Finally playing with the camera again....guess the grade? A coin even RICKO could lo

I haven't really done any coin pictures for quite awhile as the desk got cluttered and life got really busy.
I am getting ready to do a few things (such as maybe a crossover submission), so I wanted to take some coin shots again. Many of them of coins I have bought since not taking pics.
So, I will be posting some pics. They aren't the best and I am not doing anything other than cropping and converting to jpg (there may be a pic or two that, due to toning, I had to shine direct light on, so I may try to get rid of the glare, but I will not that....it isn't done with the pics in this post though).

Again, no editing other than cropping and just a quick job at that, sorry.

That said, let me know what you think and feel free to give a grade if you want.

Thanks for sharing your coins. My guess is an MS62.

Feedback on the pictures. I like the layout. Both sets of photos could probably benefit from a bit of a lighting adjustment though. The first set has too much contrast and the second set has too little. Also, it could be my eyes, but I believe the focus could be a bit sharper. Some edges seem blurry to me and other areas lack a depth of field. Now as I read my words, you'd think I was some kind of pro photographer or something. I'm far from it heh. Thanks again for sharing your pictures and coin! Allowed me to sit here a while and wonder what life was like in 1885.

Nothing is more uninspiring than a Morgan with no tone.

I'm not a Morgan collector... but I'd of guessed the grade at MS64 or so. I like the second set of pictures best.

63 was my take on it. A decent 63. Not sure if it would go 64.

Interesting ranges.....
At least no one has said "XF", then I would really worry about my photography

Then, you should go to some of the SAE threads...I think there are a few 25th annv ones laying around the forum you can visit
