2 pics of same coin. Which do you like better?

[chinook]

Grade NGC PF64 CAM I think both pics have some attractive qualities. What do you think?

I personally like the 2nd picture better because of the clear cameo contrast and the luster you captured. With that being said the first picture really reveals the fields in a way I haven't see before so it has it's qualities as well.

 

 

Nice Coin all the way around

Neither. Send coin to me, and I *may* like the pics more!

The first picture really appears to be more revealing with regard to surfaces and detail. I think, for grading purposes, this one is better.

Overall I like the first pic better. It shows the details better, and hides many of the surface marks visible in the second pic. However the second pic shows the amazing luster of the coin, and the cameo contrast, as was said above.

 

It's almost hard to believe those pics are from the same coin.

I have been experimenting with different lighting after buying a new camera. It is amazing how much different these two photos came out. Getting all the variables correct to take a great picture can be just as frustrating as buying the right coin.

I like both pictures. The first gives the coin a satiny look,very smooth appearance and hides micro blemishes. The second shows off the cameo and highlights the luster. It`s a beautiful addition in anybody`s book.

Both Photos have merit but I would not buy the coin based upon the first picture because one can not determine the luster and the cameo contrast as well. But it is a sweet coin, one that would fit nicely in my type collection.

 

It certainly is a pain in the arse getting quality photos which captures the full personality of a coin. You came pretty close to succeeding!

I vote for the second image. How'd you get such a nice image?

Nice Pics, I like #1, it shows the coin not the plastic

[CarlWohlforth]

It seems the color is off in both photos. The holder should be white. The 2'nd photo is probably closer in color to the actual coin.

 

There are about a zillion combinations of camera settings and lighting choices! Practice makes perfect so feel free to post more photos of nice classic proof coins
