In the time that I have been here I have truly been amazed by the quality of the
images that many members here have posted. I have a lot to learn and am always
trying new things. I took this image with a Nikon Coolpix 3200 and two 75w Phillips
"natural light" bulbs set at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, basically just cropped the images
and then adjusted the brightness and contrast. Thanks in advance.

    From the photo, which is very good by the way, I'd say you have a MS65 there easily, and probably a MS66. Strike, luster and lack of contact marks are all right up there. Sweet coin!

    Nice pics! You've captured the luster of this coin nicely. It looks like a nice Gem+ coin to me.

    Thats a beautiful coin. I would say the only thing that maybe needs a bit more work would be the bottom of the picture.. it looks a little out of focus. Other than that, great picture!

    Numismanic, great picture. My only suggestion would be to try a dark background, perhaps the coin would stand out even more.

    Lucy, yours looks super high-end as well!
