1915-S Half Eagle Photo

BECOKABECOKA Posts: 16,961 ✭✭✭
Still trying to get a good shot with my mini pocket camera. I have tried 1 and 2 lights and so far the best result for half eagles have been with 1 light about 12 inches above and slightly away from the coin. ISO = 100 and White Balance is set for indoor lighting with a piece of white paper under the slab.

My only issue is trying to keep some features from get a little blured. Not sure if it is from the slab or the lack of quality from my little camera.

    So, what's the grade? Nice looking coin and a much better date in the series. image

    Other than the focus issues, that is a very, very nice photo.

    Are you using a tripod?

    I made a stand out of Kinex. It is about 6 inches above the coin. I will try to get a photo of the stand and update this later.

    The focus is an issue that I am affraid will need a new camera. Even my icon photo has much crisper details, the icon is from PCGS True View.
