I was imaging some buffaloes tonight and I was rather pleased with how this one came out, so I thought I would share. image

    Excellent pics. I also like your economy set-up, {previous post, photo stand}. Like the way you improvise.

    Very nice pics. What grade would you assign the coin? Curious since I don't know buffalos that well.

    Thanks for the kind words! The 1913 Type One Buffalo Nickel is my favorite buffalo, too!

    Dizzlec, I grade it a 64.

    sweet set up I like it.

    Ok on the grade, I wasn't too far off. I was thinking 65. Maybe I gave it an extra point for the photo technique.

    Well thanks. image

    I think the strike is a bit soft for a 65. Plus, there is obvious die wear on the coin, notably the obverse on the Indian's neck.

    Holy Smokes !!! Great Picture Amanda !!!

    I don't know about a 64 on the coin though, looks better to me.
  • capecape Posts: 1,621 ✭
    thats a great image and the coin looks like it is clean enough to grade ms65!image

    nice photos! 3 quick questions: What camera are you using? What possibly could be done to smooth out the glare on the reverse between 3 and 5 o'clock? What are the wattages on the two different lights? Looks like one is a halogen and one incandecent. thanks...

    Amanda, congrats on a monumental improvement in your imaging - way to go!image
  • gyocomgdgyocomgd Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭
    Fantastic, Amanda! Is that the coin you got from me? I think those images very accurately depict the appearance of that coin. My camera, though rendering my Buffs in a flattering way, don't shoot them as "honestly" as yours. Doesn't matter how much I monkey with my settings. Nice job, kiddo.
    Guy

    I agree that coin is MS64, for the exact reason you cite--a bit of striking softness, apparent in the hair knot on the obverse, and on the Buffalo's head and hide on the reverse. But a very nice coin indeed!

  • CoinhogCoinhog Posts: 1,336
    Wow!!! great pictures. That coin is a perfect candidate for a high grade carved HOBO nickel. The dated 1913's with a good carving bring in big dollars.


    Just kidding, great looking coin.

    Thank you very much. image

    Guitarwes- I used a halogen desk lamp and a incandescent lamp, you're right! image

    Guy, yes that is the coin I got from you. It's my favoritest buffalo. image And indeed, a very nice specimen!

    Coinhog- you sure better be kidding! imageimageimage

    Mark, I have finally realized that taking the coins out of the albums makes it A LOT easier to take pictures! imageimage

    I recently shot a Dansco Album full of coins. The Album does make it a bit tougher at times. I managed to shot the whole album of coins with the coins left in the album, but it was more challenging.
