Will I have some nice closeups?

It's sure nice to be "back in the saddle again" for my collection. I went through a good year period where I had to really watch my coin expenditures, but now hopefully I have everything straightened out.

I'm bidding on some ABN plates in a Stacks/ANR auction. I can't wait to see if I win them, as they will fit in nicely with my Wild, Wild, West Signature Set. I'm also looking at a Trade Dollar from Carson City, but it has a big splotch of toning right around the cotton bale area. I usually DO NOT like toning, but I've been waffling on whether I should bid or not.

However, the best news is I bit the bullet today and bought a new digital camera and a short tripod. The new cam has made a difference, but I think the biggest difference has been made with the tripod. So I think my money has been well spent today. I've attached a photo of my 1887-S trade dollar. I'd appreciate any comments on how you think the photo looks.
