I'm a little frustrated...blast white morgan??? ms????

[CWA-migration]

This morgan is shiny and frosty...I may need to hire a photographer at this rate!!!

I can't believe how badly these pictures are turning out...sorry to be wasting you time...

Don't feel bad. My photography $uck$. Just ask anyone here.

 

It looks like you're not using enough light, but don't put your light sources directly above the coin, or you will just get glare or a washed-out image.

Looks like nice details. A few contact marks tho' makes me think about MS61.

[CWA-migration]

Guess where my light source is? Yep, directly above the coin...I can sure make a pretty morgan look like a bagger!!! I'll keep trying...let me know when you've had enough!

Coin photography is very tough. Your coin looks MS.

from the photo only sight seen might be different

 

ms-61+ maybe 62

I agree with the consensus that it is an MS coin in the low 60's. It appears to have some nice luster.

I recommend more light.

From my experience, I would immediately tell you that the problem isn't lighting, it's camera angle. When you are shooting at such an extreme angle, the top of the coin is further away from the camera lens than is the bottom - by at least a full inch! Thus, there's no way for your camera to focus well.

 

You need to get the camera directly above the coin so that all edges are more or less the same distance from the lens. And, position your light as close to directly above as possible (in other words, next to the camera).

 

Oh, and the coin looks MS-61 to me.

 

Good luck!
